Can I Import a Spreadsheet of Cues Into IGNITE Show Designer?

You can bulk import a fireworks catalog into IGNITE Show Designer using the Bulk Import feature, which accepts a CSV file. This is the fastest way to populate My Fireworks when you already have your product list in a spreadsheet.

IGNITE Show Designer does not currently support importing the full cue script, including timings and module and cue assignments, from a spreadsheet. After your fireworks are imported, each cue still needs to be placed on the timeline and assigned to a module and cue position inside Show Designer.

How to bulk import a fireworks list

Open My Fireworks in IGNITE Show Designer and use the Bulk Import option to upload your CSV file. For step-by-step instructions and the column format that Show Designer expects, see How to Add Fireworks to My Fireworks in IGNITE Show Designer.

Tip:

If your CSV is shifting data into the wrong columns on import, check the contents of each cell for stray commas. Because CSV stands for "comma separated values", every comma inside a cell tells Show Designer to start a new column. Remove commas from product names and descriptions, save the file, and try the import again.)

What about importing a full scripted show?

If your spreadsheet contains full cue timings and module assignments, you will still need to enter those manually on the Show Designer timeline. There is no direct script import from a spreadsheet today.
