Record: Upload records from a spreadsheet

These Help pages are for a new version of the iRecord spreadsheet importer that we made available on 8 August 2024. Please let us know (irecord@ceh.ac.uk) if you have any corrections to add, or encounter any difficulties.

If you have wildlife records stored in a spreadsheet it is possible to import them into iRecord if you wish to do so, as an alternative to entering them directly onto the iRecord website or app.
