Tiggzi has a feature for exporting CSV files in collection:

The values ​​in the file should be separated by a comma, as in the first row of column headings should go. You can do export on Settings tab to get an example of such a file.

Hi Katya,

What I am looking for is adding items to existing collection. It appears that the import is to import a new collection.

Hi Carmelo,

Tiggzi doesn't provide any standard feature to do it.
You can export your existing collection, edit in Excel manually and import back. This pretty simple way to increase collection works for me.

Hello! Open your CSV file in Excel, add necessary data (columns, rows)- the values ​​in the file should be separated with a comma. Please note if there are some additional column headers after exporting such as _id:string, _createdAt:string, _updatedAt:string - delete them, save changes. Import file to Tiggzi DB.
