From the download template modal, choose “With no existing data” to download the CSV template for Strains.
2. Fill in the template with your Strain data, the following fields are available:
| Field | Description |
| Name* | The Name of the Strain. If the Name of an existing Strain is included the data for that Strain will be updated. |
| Facility License #* | Indicates the Facility the Strain exists in or should be uploaded to. |

See this article for guidance on cleaning data before uploading, including how to handle special characters, spaces, dates, etc.
3. With “Non-Cannabis Product” selected as the facility data type, select “Upload”, then “Add File”. Excel and CSV files will both be accepted. Select “Manually Enter Data” to enter data in a table and create multiple Strains at once.
4. Once the data loads, map columns to the columns in your spreadsheet to the corresponding Canix fields. If you used the Canix template the columns will be automatically mapped for you. If you're exporting inventory from a previous software system into Canix, you can upload fields with different names and map those to the corresponding fields in Canix.
5. Check that all data is valid before importing, you’ll see invalid cells highlighted in red in the importer tool:
Select “Invalid” as a short-cut to see all rows that will fail to upload and require data corrections.
6. When the data is prepared, select “Submit” and review your upload in the “Upload History” table:
- In the table you’ll see “Complete” in green if all rows were successful, and “Complete” in yellow if the upload was partially completed. You’ll also see the total # of rows uploaded, and the total # completed.
- To download any failed rows, with error messages, select the “Download CSV” action on the right hand side of the table:
7. To view the uploaded data select the link icon next to the data type to view all Strains:
Update Existing Strains
To update Strains start by downloading your existing Strains on the Strain table in Canix.
Once you've made the changes desired follow the same steps for Importing New Strains, starting with step #2. Canix will recognize the Strain names as existing in the Facility and update those existing Strains instead of creating new ones.
