This how-to is going to be using the Ron’s editor CSV editor to create a basic profile CSV. If you do not know what a CSV file is, in basic terms it is a spreadsheet. You can find more information on what CSV files are here. The process will be relatively the same no matter what CSV editor you use.

1. There are 3 required columns when creating a profile CSV, so let's start by creating three new cells.

<aside> ℹ️ To add columns in Ron’s editor, select “Column” from the menu bar, then “Insert Before”. For additional columns, right-click a cell and choose “Insert Column Before” or “Insert Column After”.

</aside>

1. Required column headers, as specified in the documentation here, can be added to the three created columns in any order; Jancy identifies them by name.

<aside> ℹ️ You can edit the name of a column in Ron’s editor by right clicking on the cell and selecting “Edit Columns”.

</aside>

1. With the required columns set, add profiles to the CSV. Use the first row for column headers and fill subsequent cells with the desired information. To add a profile, insert a new row below the headers.

<aside> ℹ️ To insert a new row in Ron’s editor, first select “Row” in the application menu bar then select “Insert Below”.

1. We have now created a profile, adding any additional profiles, repeat steps 3 and 4 listed above.
