Then open the **main menu** and go to **Extensions** and select the **CSV Import** extension. ![CSV-Import-Mainmenu](https://help.archilogic.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CSV-Import-Mainmenu.png?width=502&height=339&name=CSV-Import-Mainmenu.png) The CSV Import extension will now be shown on the left side of the window. You can either drop a CSV file into the grey box or left-click the link within the box to open a menu to select a CSV file from your computer. ![](https://help.archilogic.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-05-2026-02-53-56-9420-PM.png?width=490&height=635&name=image-png-Jan-05-2026-02-53-56-9420-PM.png) After importing the CSV, the extension will show you a preview of the available information. Click the blue **Mapping** button to continue. If you realize that you imported the wrong CSV file, you can click the **X** button next to the file name to remove the CSV again and select a different file instead, as shown above. ![](https://help.archilogic.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-05-2026-03-00-18-2341-PM.png?width=670&height=418&name=image-png-Jan-05-2026-03-00-18-2341-PM.png) You now have to select the target resource type to which you wish to map your information. You can choose between **Asset** and **Space** in the dropdown menu. Selecting **Asset** will allow you to map data to assets such as component instances or individual assets, such as chairs, tables, or sensors, etc. Selecting **Space** will allow you to map data to individual spaces, such as offices or meeting rooms, etc. ![](https://help.archilogic.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-05-2026-03-05-12-5775-PM.png?width=538&height=520&name=image-png-Jan-05-2026-03-05-12-5775-PM.png) You now have to specify which data you wish to map to which custom attribute. 1. **Select a column from your CSV**. In our example below, the column is called **Id**. 2. **Select an existing custom attribute** to which you wish to map the data to. In our example, the custom attribute field is called **Employee ID**. If the required custom attribute field does not yet exist, you can [click here to learn how to create a custom attribute field](https://help.archilogic.com/knowledge/create-a-custom-attribute?hsLang=en). You can now either add an additional mapping by left-clicking the **+ Add Mapping** button and connect a different column from your CSV file to a different custom attribute field, or you can click the blue **Assignment** button at the bottom to continue. ![](https://help.archilogic.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-05-2026-03-19-28-8540-PM.png?width=542&height=594&name=image-png-Jan-05-2026-03-19-28-8540-PM.png) You're now in the mapping stage of the extension. You can now map a datapoint from the selected CSV row to the previously selected custom attribute field of an asset. 1. Left-click the target button next to the row. 2. Then left-click a target asset. ![chrome\_PRzLAhE1JC](https://help.archilogic.com/hs-fs/hubfs/chrome_PRzLAhE1JC.png?width=670&height=633&name=chrome_PRzLAhE1JC.png) If done correctly, you will see a blue check mark showing up next to the row. The mapped asset will also be highlighted in red. ![](https://help.archilogic.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-05-2026-03-44-49-1160-PM.png?width=658&height=406&name=image-png-Jan-05-2026-03-44-49-1160-PM.png) If you select the highlighted asset you can also see that the value from the CSV file has been added to the custom attribute field. ![](https://help.archilogic.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-05-2026-03-46-43-3749-PM.png?width=649&height=406&name=image-png-Jan-05-2026-03-46-43-3749-PM.png) **You have successfully mapped a datapoint to an asset.** You can now repeat this action to map the remaining entries from your column to other assets. If you want to see to which asset you mapped a datapoint, you can simply left-click the **magnification glass** button next to the row, and the corresponding asset will be highlighted. If you wish to remove a connection between a datapoint and an asset, you can left-click the **X** button next to a row. You can also click the blue **arrow** button in the lower left corner of the extension to go back and add additional connections. Note that the imported CSV will **NOT** be saved in the editor. If you close the CSV Import extension and re-open it later, you will have to re-import the CSV file into the extension. However, already mapped datapoints will remain and show up as assigned the next time you import the same CSV file.   - [Getting started](https://help.archilogic.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en) - [Floorplan Conversion](https://help.archilogic.com/knowledge/floorplan-conversion?hsLang=en) - [Model Standard](https://help.archilogic.com/knowledge/model-standard?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Office Space Taxonomy](https://help.archilogic.com/knowledge/model-standard?hsLang=en#office-space-taxonomy) - [Managing](https://help.archilogic.com/knowledge/managing?hsLang=en) - [Editing](https://help.archilogic.com/knowledge/editing?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Structural editing](https://help.archilogic.com/knowledge/editing?hsLang=en#structural-editing) - [Editor interface](https://help.archilogic.com/knowledge/editing?hsLang=en#editor-interface) - [Space Editing](https://help.archilogic.com/knowledge/editing?hsLang=en#space-editing) - [Asset editing](https://help.archilogic.com/knowledge/editing?hsLang=en#asset-editing) - [Plugins](https://help.archilogic.com/knowledge/editing?hsLang=en#plugins) - [Viewing](https://help.archilogic.com/knowledge/viewing?hsLang=en) - [Exporting](https://help.archilogic.com/knowledge/exporting?hsLang=en) - [Analyzing](https://help.archilogic.com/knowledge/analyzing?hsLang=en) - [Sharing](https://help.archilogic.com/knowledge/sharing?hsLang=en) - [Integrating](https://help.archilogic.com/knowledge/integrating?hsLang=en) - [Account & Organization](https://help.archilogic.com/knowledge/account-organization?hsLang=en) - [Microsoft Places](https://help.archilogic.com/knowledge/microsoft-places?hsLang=en) - [Extensions](https://help.archilogic.com/knowledge/extensions?hsLang=en) [![Public Archilogic Logo](https://help.archilogic.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Public%20Archilogic%20Logo.png?width=190&height=40&name=Public%20Archilogic%20Logo.png "Public Archilogic Logo")](https://www.archilogic.com/) Copyright © 2025, Archilogic
