1. Select file

When you begin the process of importing your requirements document into Eggplant Generator, the first thing you do is select your requirements document on the Select file tab.

note

You can only import one requirements document for each collection.

1. Ensure the requirements file you want to import is in an Excel (.xlsx) or comma-separated value (.csv) format with at least an ID column, a column with a description you could use for your requirement Description column, and, optionally, a third column for extra information, such as a name for each requirement.

2. If you have not already done so, choose Import + > Requirements in the Eggplant Generator menu on the left, or click Import in the top right corner of the Collections page. The Import requirements document page opens with the 1 Select file tab in focus.

3. Upload the requirements document by dragging it, or browsing to and selecting it, in the Drop files here box, below Select file. When you do, the file name and size display in the box. A Preview of your imported document replaces the file format information on the right side of the page and shows you the imported file's columns.
