CSV format reference

SteadyOn’s CSV import accepts the same shape as its CSV export. Round- tripping is the easiest way to confirm format. The columns below list the canonical headers; mapping is fuzzy on import (case- insensitive, ignores whitespace, common synonyms recognised).

Title,Description,Site,Location,Type,Status,
Inherent likelihood,Inherent severity,Inherent risk,
Residual likelihood,Residual severity,Residual risk,
Control measures,Recommended controls,
Responsible person,Review date,
Created,Modified,Created by,Modified by

Notes:

  • Site and Responsible person match by name. If the name isn’t found, the row fails validation.
  • Status / Type / Likelihood / Severity match by lookup label (case-insensitive).
  • Review date accepts ISO YYYY-MM-DD and locale-formatted dates.
  • Created, Modified, Created by, Modified by are ignored on import (server-controlled).
Title,Description,Type,Severity,Site,Location,
Occurred at,Notifiable,Status,
Reported by,Investigation due,
Created,Modified,Created by,Modified by
  • Occurred at accepts ISO datetime and locale-formatted.
  • Notifiable accepts true/false/yes/no.
Title,Description,Type,Priority,Site,Location,
Status,Assigned to,Due,
Created,Modified,Created by,Modified by
Title,Description,Universal,
Created,Modified,Created by,Modified by
First name,Last name,Email,Description,
Archived,Exempt from universal,
Created,Modified,Created by,Modified by
  • Email triggers a soft-duplicate warning if it matches an existing person; the import will still proceed unless you cancel.
Title,Description,Default validity months,
Created,Modified,Created by,Modified by

Server-controlled columns (ignored on import)

Section titled “Server-controlled columns (ignored on import)”

These columns appear on export for round-trip readability but are ignored on import:

  • Created
  • Modified
  • Created by
  • Modified by
  • Internal IDs (if present)

CSV import for the following is on the roadmap:

  • Sites
  • Inspections (templates and runs)
  • Documents

Export works for all of the above.
