UserGuide confusion in formatting

From Importing contacts from .csv : import

The format of the first line of the csv should be: NAME | NUMBER | EMAIL | ADDRESS | EVENTS | TAGS Here the | character specifies a new cell.

Improvements:

  • Since CSV is Comma-Separated Values, it is more accurate to say NAME,NUMBER,EMAIL,ADDRESS,EVENTS,TAGS.
  • The spacing also adds unnecessary ambiguity as CSV values do not use space delimit the next value
  • CSV is not exclusively opened using excel so should not be assumed the user open the CSV file in excel to understand the | | to be the boxes.
  • The term cell is not inaccurate, but if your team can think of a better term, might reduce confusion.
  • Have default import/import.csv text examples in the userguide would be very helpful

Note

This confusion might also be due to export not functioning.
