Importing Data (Data Conversions)
Importing data (Organization → Data Import) allows you to bring CSV or text-formatted measurement or customer data into Gillie. The import is done as a step-by-step guided process (Stepper).
Step 1: Select File
- Choose the character encoding (e.g., UTF-8) according to the file.
- Drag and drop or select the file (.csv, .txt, .json).
- The filename will appear below the previously selected mapping name.
Step 2: Field Mapping
Drag the source file columns to the correct target columns. The required field is Customer ID; other common fields include:
- First Name, Last Name
- Measurement Type (Measurement)
- Value
- Time (At)
Fields that are not mapped can be left in the Unmapped box. Continue with the Continue button once customer_id is mapped.
Step 3: Measurement Mapping
If the measurement field is mapped, specify for each source measurement value which Gillie measurement it belongs to. Mappings are done using autocomplete fields.
Step 4: Review and Import
When all fields are ready, the guided process will display a preview. Confirm the import to write the rows into the system.
Note. This view is specifically intended for importing data conversions (e.g., measurement history). Separate, customer-specific processes are used for importing customers, devices, and visits.
Warning. Check mappings carefully: incorrectly imported measurements cannot be undone with a single click.
