In this article, we'll be going over how to Create a TV Series title in PDX using a spreadsheet upload. Creating a Title Via Spreadsheet Upload is really helpful for adding in all Metadata, multiple languages and Multiple titles all at once.
When creating a title, the user can access the spreadsheet by clicking the "Import" button and selecting "PDX-V2 XLSX".
After clicking "PDX-V2 XLSX", the template will appear in a pop-up window. A blue link will generate that calls out a downloadable template.
Once the spreadsheet is downloaded and opened, users will need to fill out as many fields as possible.
At the bottom of the template, users will need to fill out the 'Metadata' tab. Users can reference 'Metadata Example' to see how this data should be formatted.
The Required Fields marked in red in the screenshot below. If any of these fields are missing PDX will return an error.
