 * Hi thanks so much for this wonderful plugin!
 * I’m going to be getting a large list of customers coming in all at once in august.
   So I would like to batch import. I try over and over to upload the spreadsheet,
   either as .xlsx(excel) or .csv
 * No matter what I do I get some error that a column title was not correct. Even
   though I am spot on. Public Notes, or Notes Public never works. I tried removing
   the columns giving me the most problems and it worked with just name and email,
   But it did not appear on the Admin side where the Table is under Dashboard (and
   orders). It was blank. But when I searched for someone in the search bar they
   would come up. I am sure it has something to do with the option “show in admin
   table.” Is there a way to add it on the spreadsheet? Could you verify all the
   correct stock fields I should put in each column?
 * Thanks so much for your help
    I really appreciate it! =D John

 * Hi John,
 * Would you mind sending us an email with a copy of the spreadsheet you’re using
   to [Contact@EtoileWebDesign.Com](http://mailto:Contact@EtoileWebDesign.Com) so
   that we can take a look? We can also send you a copy of our current template.
   
   Sometimes if you have added and deleted a column this can cause a problem so 
   you could try creating a new document.
 * The columns that can be uploaded currently are:
 * -Number
    -Name -Status -Display -Public Notes -Private Notes -Email
 * Hope that helps!

 * I tried to import just a name in the plugin. Just one column with the name John.
   It was “successful” as in it’s in the system but there is nothing on the dashboard
   table and also no message saying success. The only way I know is by exporting
   the “invisible” list and it giving me a spreadsheet with the column name, and
   my row, John, followed by the other columns I did not add. The plugin has added
   these columns for me, which I would assume would be the correct order and spelling
   of those columns. So I filled in the rest of the row based on the column information
   it exported and when I import back in it does not recognize the “status” column.
   I tried Order Status, Status Order, Status, status and none of them took. Any
   ideas?

 * Hi Sojohnnysaid,
 * Thanks for getting back to us. It would be easier for us to get an idea of what’s
   going on here if you would send us an email with a copy of the spreadsheet you’re
   using to [Contact@EtoileWebDesign.Com](http://mailto:Contact@EtoileWebDesign.Com)
   so that we can take a look? We can also send you a copy of our current template.

 * So i thought maybe using the export to spreadsheet would give me all the correct
   fields. So I deleted all orders and then hit export orders to spreadsheet. This
   gave me a blank spreadsheet with all the columns named correctly (at least I 
   thought since it came straight from the plugin). So the columns where named as
   followed from the export.
 * Number
    Order Status Order Status Updated Display Notes Public Notes Private 
   Email
 * I noticed it says not to use the word order. So i removed it.
 * Number
    Status Status Updated Display Notes Public Notes Private Email
 * So now I did a test import with one row and the following error occurs:
 * You have a column which is not recognized: Status.
    Please make sure that the
   column names match the order field labels exactly (without the word order).
 * So I deleted the columns I wasn’t using to see if that might work.
 * Name
    Number Display Notes Public Notes Private Email
 * now this error:
    You have a blank column that has been edited. Please delete 
   that column and re-upload your spreadsheet.
 * This is super frustrating! I was hoping the update I saw this morning might deal
   with the issue. I just bought the upgrade. Help!
 * Thanks
    John

 * Hi sojohnnysaid,
 * “Show in Admin Table” wasn’t a field that could be uploaded in a spreadsheet 
   previously. We’ve added it in though so that you can include it, and it should
   work with version 2.1.4 (just released).

 * Hi afeishui,
 * The column name should be “Location”, and we just added it in version 2.6.8.
