*** ## Page Overview Columns

The table on the main screen shows the following: * *Name:* The title of the import. * *Type:* The file type of the import, either CSV or Fixed. * *Time Zone:* The time zone the **tickets** were created. * *Header:* If the imported file contains a Header. *** ## Adding a New Format

Clicking on the +New Format button will provide a new window to manually assign the column values for the expected imported file. Matching with the main menu, the information requested in this field is: * *Format Name:* The name of the file import. * *Format Type:* The format file type, either CSV or Fixed. * *Time Zone:* The time zone the tickets were created. * *Header Row:* If the file being imported contains a header row. * *Column:* The matching columns of the import to Fast-Weigh. The *Column* entry will take the most work to import the file. The ticket file being imported must match the columns expected with the entry field. The information that is **required** is noted with a ZERO in the entry field. This information **must** be included from the following fields: * *Ticket* * *Date* * *Order* * *Product* * *Truck* * *Net*

In the above example, we have information present in columns 1-12, then again in column 15. Although the information is available, only the following information is **required:** * *Ticket -* Column 1 * *Date -* Column 2 * *Order -* Column 4 * *Product -* Column 5 * *Truck -* Column 6 * *Net -* Column 10 The created format will now allow you to [Import Tickets](/fast-weigh-knowledge-base/references/web-portal/tickets/ticket-import.md) into Fast-Weigh from an external system. *** ## Editing an Existing Format \ If you need to import tickets after a format is created, and the information is mostly the same, you can edit an existing format instead of creating a brand new one and adjust the expected column location.
