Importing Information into Bento
When you import information into Bento, you can either create a library or import the
information into an existing library or collection.
Creating a Library by Importing
If the information you are importing does not belong in an existing library, then
create a library when you import the file.
Click the pop-up to set
the field type. If you don’t
want to create the field,
choose “Do not create.”
Enter the name for the
new library.
Use the arrows to go to
the row that contains
column names, then
select “Use this record’s
values as column names.”
Choose a file. The
options you see here
vary according to the file
format of the selected
file.
