- Click on Template fields
- In the Search Tools select your template
- Click on New to add a single field or click on Quick Add to add multiple fields.
Quick Add
The Quick Add Option allows you to quickly add multiple fields to a template. It is not possible to set any settings per field here but that can be done after the fields have been added to the template.
- Go to Components -> CSVI Pro -> Import
- Select the template created earlier with name VirtueMart product import
- Click Select file
- Select the file to import

- You now see a preview of the file as to how CSVI sees the file
- Click Start import
