Overview
The Mass Upload feature in NEXT allows you to efficiently upload multiple recordings, such as survey results or data from systems lacking direct integration. By uploading a CSV file with the necessary data, you can quickly create recordings for each row.
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Prepare Your CSV File
Ensure your CSV file is formatted correctly. Each row should represent a separate recording with these columns:
Title: The title of the recording
Text: The content of the recording
Labels (optional): Labels assigned to the recording. Multiple labels need to be separate by a newline.
Example:
title,text,labels
"Survey Response 1","This is the first survey response.","Survey"
"Survey Response 2","This is the second survey response.","Survey
second label"
If your data is in an Excel file, you can easily export it to a CSV format. For more detailed instructions, refer to this guide: How to Export Excel to CSV.
