Sample data file
We've created a very simple Excel spreadsheet that might help you with your animal data file format. It's meant to be a help if you need RescueGroups.org to do a one-time quick import (not regular FTP upload) of your animal information. Do not use this file if you are building a CSV file to FTP to us -- instead use the information in the section of this guide: Importing animal data into your account
Adding an import account
To add an Import Account, click the Add an Import Account button and provide the following information:
Configuration Type:* Select the type of data file (format) you will be uploading.

The file name you provide must match exactly the name of the file you upload into the import directory.
Status:* Select whether you'd like to enable the import or leave it disabled.
If you do not enable the account the data file will not be processed.
