A CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file is a text file based on columns separated by a previously defined separator character. Every column of a CSV file represents one or more properties of E3 objects. Every row of a file represents an object, a Link, or a collection item. To use these files correctly, users must observe some details:

•The first row of a CSV file must contain a header identifying its columns correctly

•The header must have a column identifying the object type being imported or exported. This column is called ObjectType

•The header of the other columns must be a property name

•Columns may appear in any order in this file. There may have more or less columns, without compromising an import or export process. The only mandatory column is ObjectType, because without it there is no way to identify an object type to create
