To enter many demos in HiPoint using Excel

Running the monthly task DEMOs Needed in DataTools may bring up a list of four or more CDs or other samples that will need to have a corresponding DEMO item listing in HiPoint. When this happens, it’s easier to import these HiPoint demos using Excel.

1. Get template from G:\DATA DEPARTMENT\HIPOINT_IMPORTS\Drafts\DYD Import TEMPLATE
2. Save as new title in the draft folder
3. Copy and paste query results into the template
4. Insert a new column next to the item column (ISBN column, which we’ll call A2)
5. Type in the new column: A2&”DEMO”. This adds the word DEMO directly after the ISBN
6. Delete the original item column (A2)
7. Copy and paste the fields under the appropriate columns on the template
8. Enter the individual fields as above for individual demo titles
