How to Import CSV Responses as a Single Note in Your System

·

I'm looking for help when I import a CSV file. I upload a CSV from our feedback widget and it uploads each response individually, see image. I would like for it instead to upload into one note. How would I do that?

Hey Brenda R.! If you create a new blank note, you can upload the CSV file directly there and it will be embedded as a single file on the note and not create separate notes per row

I was trying out the other feature so I wouldn't import all the other data but the outcome was that each comment when on a single note.

I have a taxonomy that I use and am getting caught up on all the changes in Dovetail

Ah I see, the way CSV imports have been designed are that each row represents a separate response or comment, and in Dovetail each note is typically assigned to one call, meeting, survey response, etc, so it follows this same pattern. Is there a reason why you’d prefer to have comments from different rows in the CSV file all on the same note?

We had our data set up a certain way and haven't updated

Now with all the changes, I'm experimenting on how best to use the new tools, automation, etc.

The way we have things set ups is like this, All research, and each column is the type of research

I was thinking of adding another column with feedback widget data (comments from users) and tagging it.

We have our own taxonomy framework that I have created.

Does that help?

The truth is, I'm not sure what would be the best way to ingest the data, tag it quickly, and then surface findings

From the findings, I was able to create a board and group and I don't know if that can be done now.
