Uploading Assets from CSV

Upload Assets from CSV can be used to provide Producer with a list of assets to create and previews to upload. This process is very useful when you have a series of existing assets, such as hundreds of backgrounds and would like to load them in Producer in a single operation.

  • The actual source file, specified by the \"Relative Path\", will not be uploaded but its path will be registered for later access.
  • The Thumbnail will be uploaded.

  1. In the top menu, select Upload > Assets from CSV.

  2. In the Project field, select the Producer Project. This is not the environment. Assets are global to the Producer project.

  3. In the Source field, browse or drag and drop the CSV file containing the list of assets to be uploaded.

  4. Select the Harmony version alias you have set up in the Settings page.

  5. Click Upload Assets.

This cannot be used to update existing assets.
