How to upload information using CSV files

Find out which information you can upload to the NAIT system in bulk using a comma-separated values (CSV) file.

This is done using an Excel comma separated value (CSV) file. For smaller numbers of animals it may be easier to enter the information into the system manually. The table below shows how the maximum records that can be uploaded into the system via CSV compared with the UI:
