Introduction

In textiles, fabric often has multiple sides or layers, including a Face, Middle, and Back side. To indicate that a fabric has multiple sides or layers, follow these step-by-step instructions to input the mass data using the Mass Upload option in TextileCloud™.

Mass Upload Excel Template

1. Fill in all fabric specifications using the Mass Upload Excel Template file.
   In the Excel Template file, we can only specify one fabric side. For example, the figure below shows the fabric side as the Face Side.
   • If the fabric has a Back side, put 'Y' in the Back side column.
   • If the Back side shares the same information as the Face side, put 'Y' in the Copy Face-side info.
   • If the fabric has Middle (Composite Material) and Back side, put 'Y' both in Composite material and Back Side column.
     
2. Navigate to the Asset Library, and click on the Create button. Scroll down and  select Mass Upload.
3. Upload the Mass Excel Template file. All fabric data will be displayed in the Spreadsheet.
   

   • 💡Note: In the Excel file, you only filled out the information marked as Double-sided, but did not fill in the fabric data for the Back side yet. So you need to enter this Back side information in the spreadsheet.

4. Once you upload the Excel template into the Spreadsheet, the system will display an error message if the Back-side information is missing. If there are any additional issues (such as required fields not being completed or incorrect data formats), the system will also notify you. You may click View All, then select Go To Cell to navigate directly to the specific cell where the error occurred and make corrections.

5. At this stage, you can also upload the pre-scanned images based on the fabric side.
   

6. After resolving all errors, please ensure that the data is accurate and the pre-scanned images have been uploaded. Once confirmed, you can upload the fabric data by clicking Save.
