Information on the Add Ons Import to RMS, and the data required.
Overview
Add-ons are a Category Class used to manage additional bookable items that can be added to an existing reservation. This article provides details on the requirements for the Add-On import in RMS.
Import Information
- The import file must be in a comma-delimited .csv format (Field Delimiter), see the template at the bottom of this article.
- Data fields including a comma should be surrounded by "double quotes"(Text Delimiter).
- Line returns should be replaced with the pipe character '|'.
- Microsoft Excel is able to save using a .csv format that should match these requirements.
