When you receive a question list from a counterparty — or want to import an existing Q&A log — you can upload it directly from an Excel file. Daedaline maps the columns automatically and creates the Q&A items in bulk.

Starting the upload

  1. In the Counterparty Q&A tab, open the actions menu (ellipsis button) and select Upload Questions, or click the dedicated upload button if visible.
  2. The upload dialog opens.

Upload steps

1

Drop or select your file

Drag and drop your Excel file onto the dropzone, or click to browse. You can upload multiple files at once — each file can be mapped to a different counterparty.
2

Assign counterparties

After the file is accepted, a processing screen appears listing each uploaded file. Use the counterparty selector on each row to assign that file’s questions to the appropriate counterparty.If the counterparty you need is not listed, click Manage counterparties to add one without closing the dialog.The Upload button remains disabled until every file has a counterparty assigned.
3

Confirm the upload

Click Upload. A loading indicator is shown while the questions are being created. The dialog closes automatically when the upload is complete.

Column mapping

Daedaline maps columns from your spreadsheet automatically using the following rules (column names are case-insensitive):
Spreadsheet columnMapped to
question or questionsQuestion text
question_date or question dateDate the question was raised
priorityPriority (Low / Medium / High)
submitted_answer, answer, response, or seller_responsePre-filled answer
Columns not matching these names are ignored. The question column is required — rows without a question value are skipped.

Buyer vs. Seller mode behaviour

The mode you are in when uploading affects how duplicate questions are handled:
ModeBehaviour
SellerAll rows are created as new questions
BuyerNew questions are created; existing questions with updated answers are updated; exact duplicates (same question and same answer) are skipped with an informational notification
