Categories: Sheet Meta

Important

Using this sheet is optional. ExcelPort will work even if this sheet is missing, as long as you have a sheet for Categories.

This sheet is not regarded during import. Deleting this will not impact the import process in any way.

The Meta sheet is useful for two primary purposes:

  • Data Validation: This is where Excel pulls the available values when validating your data. More information on data validation here.
  • User reference: For finding Filter IDs, Store IDs, Layout IDs (and more) when populating your XLSX files.
