Overview

A .csv (Comma-separated values) file is useful for importing multiple fields of data that can be understood and translated by another program. Dashboard users can use an application like, Numbers (Apple), or Excel (Microsoft) to create a spreadsheet, which these programs can then export or save into a csv. 

 

Only CSV files can be imported by Re-flow's dashboard users via: Jobs, Records and Users.
