 ==== 1. Create configuration ====
-Create a configuration file in the "import" subdirectory of your [[configuration:local settings directory]]. You can use any filename that you like -- it usually makes sense to have a separate configuration file for each CSV file you load, since content and formatting is likely to be unique to each file. You can find an example in [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/blob/dev/import/csv.ini|$VUFIND_HOME/import/csv.ini]]. This documents all of the available settings. You should make a local copy of this example and then configure the desired settings.

+The configuration file gives you a lot of control over how the CSV file is read, including settings to handle header rows, different character encodings, mapping of columns to Solr fields, manipulation of data values with custom code, and more. See the comments in the csv.ini example for full details.
