Here are all the fields in Actinic that are available to import into. These are listed in the third screen of the Import Wizard (the 'Mapping' screen - see Importing From A Standard Spreadsheet).
If you don't include some of these fields in your import file, then the imported product/section will use the default values as indicated in the table.
Note: If you change the column headings in your import file to be the same as the field headings listed below, then Actinic will automatically be able to map your data to the correct Actinic field.
