Mazévo can import buildings and related rooms from a CSV file. However, importing will only create new buildings and rooms. Updates to existing records are not supported.
Overview and what gets imported
Records that are imported:
- Mazévo will create new buildings if the building name doesn't already exist.
- Mazévo will create new rooms if the room name doesn't already exist in the room table.
