How to Import Warranty Issues from CSV

Import a CSV into the warranty issues tool

Written by Edward Gonzalez

If you have a spreadsheet of warranties that you'd like to track in Buildr, you can import them directly into the project's Warranty Issues page. If you'd like to start with a template, download one here. Once your spreadsheet is complete, convert it to a CSV.

Accepted Column Fields:

  • Title (required): Accepts any text

  • ​Description: Accepts any text

  • ​Status (required): maps to one of: Requested, Open, Pending Approval, Closed, Declined

  • ​Priority: Maps to one of: High, Low, empty

  • ​Responsible Contractor: Maps to a company in the project directory

  • Trade: Maps to the Buildr trade list

  • ​Location: Maps to any location in the project

  • Root Cause: Maps to predefined causes listed in your Buildr account

  • Warranty Type: Maps to a warranty type created in your account.

  • ​Created By: Maps to any user in the project team (defaults to the current user)

  • ​Created At: Accepts any timestamp in the format: YYYY-MM-DD

  • Closed At: Accepts any timestamp in the format: YYYY-MM-DD

To start, select the appropriate Buildr project then click the Warranty Issues tab. Select the More > Import.

Next, click Upload Data From File and select your CSV, or manually enter your data in the fields provided.

If your CSV file contains column headers, select Yes or Select Another Row. If it does not contain headers, select No Header Row.

Continue through the import wizard and map the spreadsheet values by selecting Confirm Mapping. Make sure to confirm each mapping that you want to import.

Lastly, review your Warranty Issues date and select Continue. Once you submit the import, the warranties will be created in Buildr.
