New data means the information is not already in your dispensary. For example, you want to add 100 single ingredients (herbs) to your dispensary. Instead of doing it manually one-by-one, you can fill out a CSV/Excel Sheet and upload them, which will create them all at once saving you a lot of time and effort.
What is the difference between New and Existing Data
Items not included in your dispensary have no internal ID associated with it. Once you upload it for the first time, the system will assign a numbered ID to each item you upload. If you try to import new data into the existing data section, it will not work, because new data doesn’t have an ID, and the system will be looking for this ID. If you are getting errors, check to ensure you are uploading to “New Data” by using the option at the top of this page, selecting “NEW DATA”
You must select the option “New Data” so the system recognizes that this is new data and not existing data
