The Import Locations feature allows you to efficiently add multiple store or warehouse locations to fabric. This streamlined process eliminates the need for manual data entry, reducing the risk of errors while saving you time and effort. To assist with this process, fabric provides CSV template files for Locations, Temporary Location Capacity, and Scheduled Location Closures.
