== Installation ==

1. Upload ‘wpinventory_import_export’ to the '/wp-content/plugins/' directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Under the “WP Inventory” menu, look for “Import / Export”


== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Q. Exporting - The Export button is not visible! Where is it? =
A. To ensure the export button is visible, go to the WP Inventory Settings screen, and ensure that the lowest role permitted to export is set to the appropriate role.

= Q. Exporting - I only want to export some of my inventory.  How do I do that? =
A. To export some inventory, go the the Inventory Items listing (in the dashboard), do a filter so that only the desired items are listed, then click the “Export Items” button at the bottom of that screen.  The export will only contain those items listed.

= Q. Importing - What format should my file be in? =
A. The file should be a comma-separated file with a .csv file extension.  For your convenience, there is a sample import file in the plugin folder titled sample_import_file.csv.

= Q. Importing - Does my import file need the fields in a certain order? =
A. No.  The import plugin will allow you to tell it which column should be imported to which field.

= Q. Importing - Does my import file have to have a title row? =
A. No, but a title row at the top of the file will make the plugin’s job much easier when it attempts to guess when automatically mapping your fields for you, and will ultimately save you time.

= Q. Importing - Help! My import was wrong! What do I do now? =
A. If you go to the Import screen again, you will see a notice telling you that there are already X imported records, and it will offer a “Purge” button to delete / remove the records already imported.  Click the Purge button, and you can start over.

= Q. Importing - What should I import for status? =
A. If you are importing status, then you should use 0 (for inactive) or 1 (for active).  If you don't import the status, it will automatically be active.

= Q. Importing - Do I have to import categories before importing my items? =
A. No! The system will automatically create categories.  It first attempts to find the category, and if it exists, use the existing category.  If not, it will create the category.

= Q. Importing - What about my media and images? =
A. Currently the plugin supports full URLs to media / images, and will automatically download the media from the given location and insert it into your WordPress media.  If the file is on your local server already (and the URL matches), it will re-use the existing media / image on your server.  Relative paths / urls are not supported.

= Q. Upgrading from previous Inventory Manager (Legacy) version. =
A. This system is highly automatic.  When you click the “Upgrade” link in the Import / Export screen, the import will automatically map the fields and do all the work for you.  It also gives you the opportunity to Undo (“Purge”) the import if you have done it, and decided you don’t want those items in the new version.
