 * Step 2: Then click on the button at the end of the line to select the file format you want to import. Note: You can download an empty file as exemple by clicking on "Download a blank sample file".
 * Step 3: Select the file to import on your computer to send it on Dolibarr server. Once the file transfer, click on the button at the end of the line to move to the next step.
 * Step 4: In the left column is the fields found in your file submitted. To the right is the fields in Dolibarr. Move fields in the left column up or down by a drag and drop from the arrow, so that each field in the input file is in front line of Dolibarr field. If a field in the input file can not be imported, it should be moved down under the "Fields source file not imported."

The simulation will attempt to insert data of your file into database by canceling operations at the end. An error report is then displayed. If there is no error, you can click on "Start import final" to insert data with no cancellation at end. The imported data is added to existing one.
