Certiverse supports importing blueprint data via a comma-separated values (CSV) file. For proper import, the file should be in a specific format as covered by these instructions.
To create the CSV file, use the “Blueprint Topic Import Template.csv” as a guide, which was downloaded along with these instructions. The template contains file headers along with example data.
- For each column utilized, the header (first row) is required and should not be altered.
- The example data (remaining rows) should be replaced with your own data, while maintaining the same format.
The CSV template file has 4 columns using the following headers (underlined) and information:
- Topic Number: The number of the topic or subtopic, which specifies topic or sub-topic levels.
- This field is required.
- This field must have the character "#" at the beginning.
- Numbers must be in sequence (1, 2, 3…).
- If subtopic numbers are skipped (1, 1.111), skipped subtopics and ones following will not load.
- Topic Name: The name of each topic or subtopic.
- This field is required.
- The character limit is 225.
- Topic Weight: The weight of each topic or subtopic.
- This field is optional.
- The weight must be an integer.
- The sum of all topic weights (not including subtopics) should eventually equal 100; however, this is not a requirement for proper import.
- The sum of the subtopics should eventually equal their respective topic weight; however, this is not a requirement for proper import.
- Topic Description: Extra information for each topic or subtopic.
- This field is optional.
- The description will appear in the item writing assignment.
- The character limit is 500.
