Create and update items at scale

ENSPACE bulk actions allow you to create or update multiple items in a category at once by uploading spreadsheets. The feature is accessed through the settings icon (gear) in the toolbar of the items screen, under the Bulk Actions option.

The Bulk Actions modal has two tabs:

Bulk Upload — to create new items from a spreadsheet.
Bulk Update — to update data of existing items.

In both cases, the flow is the same: you download the spreadsheet template provided by the platform, fill it with the desired data, and upload it back to ENSPACE.

To learn how to use each tab in detail, see:

Technical notes

The information below applies to both bulk creation and bulk update.

Multi-select fields

Multi-select fields accept two input formats in the spreadsheet: semicolon-separated text (e.g., Option 1;Option 2) or JSON array (e.g., ["Option 1","Option 2"]). Both are supported.

Fields with long reference

For complex fields such as Repeater, Address, and Person/Company, if the field reference exceeds 31 characters, the system will use the field ID as the column header in the spreadsheet instead of the full reference. This ensures compatibility with the Excel format.
