CSV import/export
CardBoard moves card data to and from CSV files. This page answers: what columns are supported, what’s preserved, and what’s lost.
Two kinds of CSV
Section titled “Two kinds of CSV”- Board content — the cards, stickers, dividers, and outcomes on a single board. This is the import/export you use to bulk-edit a board.
- Workspace report — a list of every board in the workspace (metadata only, not card content), delivered asynchronously by email.
Import format
Section titled “Import format”A row’s kind column says what it is:
kind | Row represents |
|---|---|
name | Board metadata (map name, type, snap-to-grid) |
outcome (or journey, legacy) | An outcome |
sticker | A text sticker (x, y, text, font size, color, rotation, size, image URL, locked) |
divider | A divider (x, y, name, orientation, length, locked) |
card (or blank) | A card |
Card fields on import: name (max 255 chars; longer titles truncate), color (hex or color name), x, y, size, status, custom status, description, styled description, image URL, locked.
What’s lost on a round-trip
Section titled “What’s lost on a round-trip”Exporting then re-importing is not perfectly lossless. The CSV does not carry:
- Reactions
- Comments
- Tracker links (use the tracker’s own bulk import/export instead)
- Outcome membership beyond what dividers imply geometrically
Workspace report columns
Section titled “Workspace report columns”UUID, Name, Board type, Creator, Organization, Collaborators, Viewers, Cards, Created At, Last View, Last Modification.
