When importing a CSV file how do I specify the input item type? Eg. Panel, Hardware etc.

There are several ways to do this...

Explicitly specify the type for each item

In the CSV file, create a column called “Name”. 

For each line item you would need to specify the type as either “Input Panel”, “Input Hardware” or “Input Edging”.

If you were to open the export file in Excell and look at it, it would look something like this...

Importing the file into MaxCut and it would come through like this...

You can download an example export file.

If you don't specify it defaults 

If you don't specify a type MaxCut assumes the type specified under "Unrecognised Item" type. You can set this by going to Settings > Item Defaults > Unrecognized Item

 And setting the default input type...
