# Project Import

Organization admins can import projects in bulk from a spreadsheet or JSON export. Cogram uses AI to automatically detect and map columns from your file.

Go to [Organization Settings > Projects](https://app.cogram.com/dashboard/settings/admin/projects) and click **Import**.

## Supported file formats

CSV (`.csv`), Excel (`.xlsx`), and JSON (`.json`). A downloadable example template is available on the upload page.

## Import steps

### 1. Upload

Drag a file onto the upload area or click to browse. Once a file is selected, click **Continue**.

### 2. Map Columns

Cogram auto-suggests which columns in your file correspond to Cogram project fields. Review the mappings and adjust as needed using the dropdowns. A confidence indicator shows how confident the AI is in each suggestion.

Available target fields:

| Field            | Required |
| ---------------- | -------- |
| Name             | Yes      |
| Project Number   | Yes      |
| Description      | No       |
| Client Name      | No       |
| Address          | No       |
| Owners           | No       |
| Members          | No       |
| Project Metadata | No       |

You can also set any column to **Skip** to ignore it. Click **Review** once the required fields are mapped.

### 3. Review

A preview shows how many projects will be created, updated, or skipped, and lists any errors. You can also:

* **Pre-create users** — if owner or member email addresses are not yet in your organization, select which ones to pre-create and optionally send invitation emails.
* **Set a fallback owner** — assigned to new projects when no owner column is mapped or when mapped owners are not being pre-created.
* **Auto-file incoming emails** — optionally enable automatic email filing for imported projects.

Click **Import N projects** to proceed.

### 4. Import complete

A summary shows the number of projects created, updated, skipped, and any errors. Click **Import More** to start another import.
