+## Import from Excel
+Instead of filling out every field manually, most of the values can be imported from an _.xlsx_ Excel document.
+Use the example Excel document provided [here](/additional documents/xlsxBase.xlsx) as a base for creating/filling out your own. There are some requirements for an Excel document to be properly imported:
+- The order of the columns must not be changed
+- Session IDs under 10 need a leading zero (i.e. "Session Date 01" and so on)
+- Valid values for the Subject Sex column only include: m[ale], f[emale], m[ännlich], w[eiblich], u[ndefined]
+- Valid values for the Subject Type column only include: Healthy test subject, Patient, Healthy control subject
+- Removing/Adding session date columns is allowed, as long as they follow the same naming scheme
+
+Additionally, one _meta.json_ file has to be provided, which will serve as the base for creating the study. This file will be used as the base for all subsequently created _meta.json_ files.
