Troubleshooting

  • There is no file in the Data management in which should be exported.
  • The separator is poorly chosen.
  • Problem: I tried to upload a empty file (*.csv), and there is an error message: "Bitte wählen Sie einen gültigen Dateinamen (Pfad) aus." (German)
  • Solution: Write something into the dummy file, that should fix the problem.
