3. Open the downloaded sample CSV file using a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. Delete the sample data provided in the file. Fill in the "CODE" and "DESCRIPTION" fields with the respective details for your cost codes. Leave the "ID (fill to update)" column blank unless you are updating existing data.

4. Return to the Import/Export Data tab in SiteMax. Scroll down to the "Import Cost Codes" section. Click the "Browse" button and select the CSV file you prepared for import. Once selected, click the "Import" button to initiate the import process. SiteMax will process the file and import the cost codes into the system.

Note: It's important to ensure that the file you import is in CSV format.
