Export and recover the real reference
- Start a lookup
Start a lookup.
FindBench reads the local reference you choose. It does not fetch stock data or confirm where goods are now. All values in this lesson are synthetic.
- Choose the prepared reference CSV
Choose the prepared reference CSV.
This prepared CSV enters the real file chooser. Review the rows and choose the columns before loading. Nothing has been uploaded.
- Map the exact code column
Map the exact code column.
Choose Part as the code column. Every value stays exact text, including leading zeroes.
- Map the description column
Map the description column.
Choose Text for the descriptions. Different descriptions for one code remain visible.
- Map every listed location
Map every listed location.
Choose Bin for locations. Repeated rows are retained, and a blank location stays explicitly not supplied.
- Keep the relevant note column
Keep the relevant note column.
Choose Comment for notes. The Ignore column is left out and will not be saved with the reference.
- Name the reference
Name the reference.
A clear title appears with the lookup, downloads and saved work. It is your declared context, not a verified authority.
- Declare when the reference was prepared
Declare when the reference was prepared.
This date comes from the file owner. Loading it today does not prove it is current.
- Load the reviewed reference
Load the reviewed reference.
Load all six mapped rows. The original file and excluded column are discarded; the exact mapped values and row numbers remain.
- Read every matching row
Read every matching row.
Look up 000017. Four rows match, including two locations, an identical repeat and a conflicting description. Check every row, not just the first.
- Download all matching rows as CSV
Download all matching rows as CSV.
The real CSV keeps row numbers, exact codes, descriptions, locations, notes and the duplicate/conflict flags. Import codes as text in a spreadsheet.
- Download the actual lookup PDF
Download the actual lookup PDF.
The real PDF includes the reference context and every matching row. A download does not confirm printing or stock authority.
- Download a recoverable project
Download a recoverable project.
This portable project is generated by the ordinary product exporter and contains only the synthetic reference and query.
- Save the isolated practice reference
Save the isolated practice reference.
The normal Save action writes only this Help session’s private database. It cannot read or overwrite your normal saved references.
- Start new temporary work
Start new temporary work.
Confirm the genuine replacement question. This session’s private saved reference remains available until the practice frame ends.
- List the saved practice reference
List the saved practice reference.
Only isolated practice work is listed here. Your ordinary FindBench references are never read.
- Restore the saved practice reference
Restore the saved practice reference.
The real bounded project store validates the saved data and restores its last lookup.
- Refuse an invalid project backup
Refuse an invalid project backup.
Duplicate JSON keys are rejected atomically. The accepted reference and last lookup stay visible.
- Keep the accepted lookup
Keep the accepted lookup.
Dismiss the refusal. Every original matching row remains intact.
- Import the prepared synthetic backup
Import the prepared synthetic backup.
The genuine importer restores the prepared reference and its 17 lookup as temporary work. Imported source claims are unverified, and the saved original stays separate.
