Bulk Code Import to Codeframe

Use the Import Codeframe screen to bulk import codes and nets from the contents of a CSV file. Copy and paste the delimited list into the box provided to create multiple codes and nets at once.

Locked	Indicates that the code can not be edited, nor moved

Example CSV with Codes and Nets:

This has a top net Texture, a Juiciness subnet, and 2 codes under Juiciness. The level determines the nesting of the codes and nets. For further information, see Sample Bulk Code CSV Format.
