Uploading a large match list
How it works
One match-list CSV can be up to 150 MB, so there is no need to split a big export. A list of 251,199 matches (96 MB) goes in with one upload. Open DNA, pick the kit and choose Import a match list. Pick the platform the file came from, choose the CSV, tick the consent box and press Import. The file is taken in seconds. Then it is processed in the background in six stages: Upload, Virus scan, Parse, Match, Write and Done. Live counters show matches read, matches prepared and the time left. You can close the window; the work goes on. A newer export of the same kit updates the matches already there, with no duplicates.
