Happen Business provides a spreadsheet template that can be used to import data into Jim2. Please contact support@happen.biz to obtain it.

 

Quality

It is very important to get the data right at this stage – the correct spelling, the look required, all the records verified. It is a lot easier and quicker to amend it now in a spreadsheet than later when it is in database form.

Tip

When entering numbers that have a leading zero in any columns, to ensure Excel does not trim off the zeroes, set the column format to Text or add an apostrophe (') prior to the 0.
