In Cheqroom, you can upload all of your equipment in one go by using our importing feature. However, you can just as easily update your equipment via the importing feature.
Say, for example, you took a flying start using Cheqroom but now realize that you forgot to import the warranty date of your equipment. Well, you can easily add this piece of information to your equipment in bulk in a couple of steps.
Step 1: Export your equipment
Go to Items
Click the Export button in the top right corner
Step 2: Update your spreadsheet
The second step is adding or adjusting the information in your spreadsheet.
Which fields can I update?
When importing Items from spreadsheet, you can import and update data in the following fields.
Name (required – at least 3 characters)
Brand
Model
Purchase price
Purchase date (formatted like 09/23/2016 )
Barcode (between 4 and 24 alphanumeric characters)
Custom fields you've set up*
*Adding custom fields
To add extra fields with information, the easiest way is to create this new custom field first via the Settings < Fields.
That way you can map the new field upon importing.
Important
The following data cannot be updated by importing a spreadsheet yet:
Kit - use the Bulk equipment update feature
Category - use the Bulk equipment update feature
Location - use the Bulk equipment update feature
Codes
Reservation data
Check-out data
Step 3: Import your spreadsheet
Upload your CSV like you normally would
Map the Cheqroom Id field, it's a random text like like
RjaFaEMBgWoGGZmqVrqvvP
It’s this Id field that triggers an update instead of creating a new item.
Preview some rows by clicking next and previous
Click Next
Fix any import errors and check warnings
Click Start import
You'll get a confirmation email when the update is done
