PlexTrac provides a downloadable CSV file that can be used as a template for uploading findings offline and importing them into PlexTrac later using the Add Findings button within the Findings tab of a report.

To download the template, click the file below:

The file has the required fields prepopulated in the CSV file, along with sample values.

Save the file in CSV UTF-8 format to prevent including non-UTF characters that may break the importer.

Importing the CSV File

Step 1: Download the CSV file above.

Step 2: Remove the sample values and populate the fields with desired values. A list of the fields with definitions and instructions on importing custom fields is below.

Step 3: Import the file into PlexTrac.

When importing the file via the Add Findings button in the Findings tab of a report, select the value "CSV" from the pulldown menu.

Step 4: Select the CSV file to upload and click Continue.

Step 5: Add any optional tags or leave them blank. Click Upload.

A message will appear, validating that the file is uploading.

Step 6: Validate that the information was added to the report. When the data has been imported successfully, the screen will display the information without refreshing the page.

The time required to load depends on the amount of data in the CSV file.

The source of the finding will list "CSV" as the value. Below is how the data is displayed in the Finding Detail window using the sample values in the CSV template.

CSV Finding Field Mappings

All fields below must appear as column headers when importing the CSV file. All field values must follow the rules defined in the table, or the file may be rejected when imported or require further manual editing within PlexTrac.

When imported, the custom fields will appear on the Finding Detail page.

The custom fields can be edited or deleted after import via the Custom Fields tab of the finding.
