- Did you start with a fresh template? If not, try that and see if it helps.
- Did you delete entire rows or columns? Is your file missing functionality that exists in the template? If so, start over with a fresh template. You can use your Delete key to clear the contents of one or more individual cells, but do not delete entire rows or columns.
- Did you save your file as CSV before importing? If not, try that and see if it helps.

Tips for All Imports
| Import Exceptions | Missing Batch User, Batch Name, or Seq ID will cause Exception. |
|---|---|
| Exception on SEQ/Row Number | Multiple missing required fields may not report the correct row number in the Exception Message. Inspect the template for empty cells. |
Tips for DEC Imports
| Validating Lots of Rows | Sometimes, the system throws an error when attempting to validate more than 4 rows at a time. If that happens, try validating a few rows at a time. |

Tips for PV VM Imports
| Import into Existing VD | The PV VM import is designed to import an enumeration into an existing Value Domain. PV/VMs can be created using existing VMs, or you can specify a new VM either with or without concept codes. |
|---|---|
| Specified VM Definition | Optional Specified VM Definition is only used if the VM Type is "TEXT". The system will not throw an error but it won't be added to the VM. |
| VM Reuse | In a Text VM is specified and an existing VM with the exact name is found, it will be reused, even if it has concepts. The Validation message will indicate that existing VM is being used (need to fix spacing). |
Tips for Designation Imports
| Consistency Checking | If AI Long Name does not match the specified AI Public ID Long Name, the system will show an error. We are requesting AI Long Name and AI Type to ensure Alt names are not inadvertently added to the wrong AI. Public IDs are very similar, typos are easy to make. If this becomes onerous, we could add a Validate Step to display the AI Long Name and AI Type for curator to see and visually verify before selecting Create. |
