Can I import spreadsheets into the XDD and the FDB?

For the field database (FDB), you can save the spreadsheet file as a Comma Separated Value (CSV) file while in a spreadsheet such as Excel. Any column names that match Studio’s internal column names should import. Column names that do not match are ignored.

For the extract dictionary (XDD), there is no CSV import, however, depending on the information you are specifying, you may be able to import the FDB into the XDD.

Keep in mind that you would not be able to import rule information because the FDB does not store that type of information.
