Importing data

To import data into Valise, navigate to the Settings → Import / Export page. From there, you can choose from the available import options.

Our importer is currently in beta and requires contacting us to import data. Please get in touch and we’ll help you out. We intend to make this self-serve in the future.

We support importing from the following sources:

• Spreadsheet (Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets, CSV)
• ArtLogic
• Art Record
• Artwork Archive

How imports work

Imported artworks records will only be created. No existing artworks will be modified during an import.

For nested record types, like locations, we’ll match the data to existing records. For example, if you import an artwork with a location of “Spencertown Studio,” if your vault already contains an existing location named “Spencertown Studio,” we’ll link the imported artwork to the existing location instead of creating a new one.

Exporting data from other tools

ArtLogic

To get your data from ArtLogic, their guide on exports provides the following instructions:

Go to your ArtLogic account, then Artworks > Create… > Export…. Choose a CSV export from the available options.

Art Record

To export your data from Art Record, you can visit your settings page, and then choose Download Entire Archive, which will direct you to this export page. You can make a request, and after a day or so, you’ll receive a zip file with all your data.

You can import that ZIP file into Valise.

Artwork Archive

To get your data from Artwork Archive, you can use their guide on exporting your data to CSV.

Artwork Archive has a few different types of exports and reports, but you’ll want to go to the Artwork > Pieces page, select New Report and then select Export to CSV. This will give you a CSV file with all your artwork data, which you can import.

Spreadsheet

To import work from a spreadsheet, you can download our CSV template file, open it in a tool like Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheets, and transfer your data into the appropriate columns.

That CSV file can then be imported into Valise. If you need help with this, please get in touch.
