Importing a Item Plan Steps

1. Download the Item Plan Template

To Import a Item Plan, you first need to get your plan information in a format that Toolio can understand. We use a template, similar to the core data import templates to achieve that. For reference you can see the Item Plan feed documentation and a sample plan feed. Once you fill in the data in the requested format, you can download it as CSV and move on the next step.
