After deciding variables, you can batch import data or manually add data.

In the file, ensure that the header content is the same as that on the Associate data tab.

For text, you need to enter the specific content.
After entering all the variable information in the table, put the table file and all the vector and image files into one folder or compressed file.
Click Import to import the target folder or compressed file.
If you encounter an error tip after batch importing data as follows, you're advised to check the file content.
On the Associate data tab, click + Add and modify the content in the newly added row.
Note:
When you import a vector file in the format of SVG or DXF to XCS, the whole object will be ungrouped. Therefore, please confirm whether you've selected the whole target object.
