Creating the Equipment CSV Template
First, you need to create a template to put the equipment in.
Go to Tools > CSV > Equipment.
Select 'Create CSV template' and select 'Standard Equipment Template' or 'Standard Equipment Template with Example User Definable Fields'.
You will be prompted to save a copy of the Excel file to your PC which you should do.
Collate your equipment information into the corresponding columns within the Excel template.
Make sure the site description or reference are spelled correctly so the equipment can be imported into the sites correctly.
Save the CSV document and exit Excel.

Go to Tools > CSV > Equipment.
For this particular CSV, select Import > Site reference then click 'OK'.
When the import has finished, click 'Save'. This will import the equipment into Clik Service.
