Import/Export


Jobs Factory allows you to create or import backups for job offers and locations.

From the Import/Export section you can create ".xls" files by clicking on Export XLS which will contain all the jobs that are available on your website or to import an ".csv" file adding additional jobs.
Here you can also create backups the same way for the custom locations you have created or to import already made ones.



To import job offers or locations click on Import CSV, click on "Browse…" and select the ".csv" file from your HDD.

These ".csv" files need to be written in a specific order and format to be eligible for upload since each value will be inserted in the database. For jobs CSV file you will need the header on the first row containing all the names of the fields and on the other rows, details about jobs that will be added in those respective fields. It is very important that the words must be written between quotation marks and all the information separated by tab spacing.

Here is how a default jobs ".csv" file should look like:



In case of importing locations you will need 2 ".csv" files, one containing the areas/regions and another one, containing the cities. The same as before, order and format of the files is very important, the words must be written between quotation marks and all the information separated by tab spacing.

This is how a location file should look like:



And this is the format the cities file should have:



To download sample data files similar to these please check this forum thread.


(!) Take note that the Import CSV feature requires strict conventions in the files to work properly, each value is inserted in the database and order must be respected. Use the Exports as reference. Custom fields are not supported.
Files tested on version 1.5.1 of Jobs Factory.
