Once you have created a Folio Template you can use the import feature to add fields to the template in bulk, you can also import directly to sections or tables and set the visibility for the fields in your stages.
To do this first go to the template, and go to the Fields tab.
Next click the down arrow next to New Field and click Import Fields
You will then see the below window, click on Click here to download the Field import template
Opening the import file you will see the columns as below, this is where you will fill in the information about the fields you are wanting to create. You can find the data rules here.
Once you have filled in the fields on the spreadsheet save it and then jump back into folio, where you can click Add Files and select the filled in template.
Folio will then validate that the file you have uploaded is correct and once that is done will show you an import screen with all of the fields. Any errors with the data will be highlighted here and you can fix any errors by clicking on the cell and changing the values from the text box there.
Once you have fixed up the errors you can click import and then Folio will create the new fields and put them into the section.
Note: if you choose to click import while there are still errors on the import then Folio will create the fields with no erros and leave the ones with errors on the import.
