Import Data
You can import data to Stocks, Jargons, and Catalogs. Click on the menu bar to open the web page you want to import data. You will see a 
icon and a 
icon.
The icon
Click this icon, an input form will open. You can add one record to the database by doing so.
The icon
- Click this icon, you will be directed to the import web page. Click "download Clover Import Data Template" to download the excel file.
- Open this excel file and organize your data according to this template.
- Copy your data from this template.
- Click the icon at the left-up corner, and an input form will show up.
- Paste your data in the text box.
- Click "OK", and the data will show up in the table. Large datum sets take a lot of time to process (JavaScript is slow), so please be patient and do NOT force-shutdown your web browser.
- You can check your data in the table, or you can add one by click the icon at the left-up corner.
- Finally, if everything is OK, click the "import the following data to" button, and your data will be imported to Clover.
This sounds tedious, but actually not. You need to organize your materials in spreadsheets like Excel files anyway. What this takes is almost copy and paste. Once you have your data in Clover, you will find how convenient it is to find what you want.
