Why has my CSV template downloaded in the wrong format?

Answer

The format of your CSV template is based on your export separator preferences. To ensure your exported data is properly organized into separate columns, it's crucial to have the correct export separator. Using the wrong separator can cause your file to compress into a single, unreadable column. The correct export separator preferences can be configured in your account settings.

Background

Typically, European users should set their export separator to a semicolon (;), while most other users should use a comma (,). However, this can vary depending on your computer system. If your exported data appears in a single column, please verify your export separator setting by following the steps below and try switching to a semicolon or a comma.

Steps

1. Sign in to your account on the SUPPLIERASSURANCE platform
2. On your dashboard, select the 'Account settings' icon in the top right-hand corner and select 'Manage account'
3. From your account settings, click on the 'Personalization' tab
4. On the 'Personalization' tab, click 'Edit' below the 'Personalization' section
5. Within the 'Export separator' field, select the correct export separator (typically a semicolon for European users, and a comma for other users) and click 'Save'
6. When the correct export separator preference has been saved, your CSV template should be separated into distinct columns
