• BETA: Standardized CoPOS Item Export/Import file.  The CoPOS Item File is created using an Item Query and contains nearly all item information.  You can edit this file and import your changes.  The file format is tab-delimited and may be imported into a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel or Apple Numbers.  When you are finished making changes in your spreadsheet program save as “Tab Delimited Text” or “Windows formatted file.”  The filename must start with ITEMS and end in .TXT.  Use 4.1 to import the file.  Blank fields are ignored.  To clear a field in the CoPOS Database type .d in the spreadsheet field.  This same “one file” feature is planned for CoPOS Members and will be available in a future version of CoPOS.  This feature has been tested by CoPOS, however, importing items has the ability to make large-scale changes to the CoPOS Database.  Please perform large imports on a CoPOS backup server before performing on your live server.  Always keep a copy of your original item export in case you need to reset the changes.  Your feedback is appreciated.
