Tips:																					
Use the field names above as headers for your locality import. This facilitates the import.																					

If you save an Excel spreadsheet as tab-delimited file, quotationsmarks are automatically added around all fields that contain commas and will be imported. To delete them open the file in Notepad or Word, remove all quotationsmarks and save. Alternatively, save Excel spreadsheets as comma-separated files.																					

To avoid problems with diacritics or other special characters the imported file should be in UTF-8 format. File format can for example be changed by opening the file in MS Word and saving it as plain text, which opens a dialog box in which you can select 'other encoding' and choose 'Unicode (UTF-8). If you work in Excel, be careful to open the file in the correct format and save as 'Unicode', Then change the file to UTF-8 in Word.																					

To avoid import errors make sure that you only use allowed values for 'Country' and 'Continent/BodyOfWater'.																					

If the localities should be part of an organic group, add the field 'Audience' and enter the name of the group for each locality.																					

If the localities were created by someone else, you can add the field 'Authored by' and enter the name, uid or email of this person.
