Importing Products allows teams to quickly add large FF&E schedules, sourcing data, procurement information, and product libraries into Workroom using CSV files.
This is especially useful when migrating projects, onboarding existing schedules, or managing procurement at scale.
Accessing Product Import
Open the Products module
Click Import in the top-right corner
Download the import template
Why the Import Template Matters
The import template is dynamically generated based on your account settings.
This means the template automatically includes:
custom statuses
existing tags
system-specific field structures
account-level product settings
Because of this, the template should always be downloaded directly from your account before importing products.
Preparing the CSV File
Before importing:
verify column formatting
confirm product names are consistent
review statuses and tags
check vendor information
validate pricing fields
confirm room and category assignments
Clean data improves procurement workflows, exports, and reporting accuracy.
Importing Products
Complete the CSV template
Return to the Import Products window
Select your completed CSV file
Review the import summary
Confirm the import
Once completed, the products will automatically populate inside the Products module.
Import Summary
Before finalizing the import, Workroom displays a summary of the incoming product data.
This allows teams to review:
product counts
field mappings
potential formatting issues
missing information
Best Practices
always use the latest downloaded template
standardize naming conventions before importing
review procurement statuses carefully
verify pricing fields before confirming imports
use tags consistently for filtering and exports
Operational Tip
Many firms use product imports when onboarding projects from spreadsheets, vendor schedules, legacy procurement systems, or external FF&E documents.
