Tips for creating a CSV file
CSV format should be: code, name, latitude, longitude if you haven't added any other predefined columns through the setting / Import setting, or created some new attributes. If you don't have information about long or lat, you can write 0.0 in that column.
When creating your CSV file, ensure that you have the right header setting if there is a header in your CSV file. You can set it through settings / Import schema.
If you have commas in the project or site name, and you are creating a CSV file with another delimiter, you need to change the column delimiter in the CloseOut application from commas to that other symbol through the Setup / Import Scheme option.
Also, when converting your document into a CSV file, choose CSV UTF - 8 if your list of sites contains non-English characters such as č, ć, š, etc.
