How to prepare CSV file for simulation group?

CSV is the most repeatable way to run volume. Each row becomes one simulation.

Start from the Simola template

Download the template during Creating Simulation Groups → Provide data.

• Form Testing: Creating Simulation Groups

• Form Submission: Creating Simulation Groups

Do not rename headers. Do not reorder if your workflow expects a specific order.

Fill the file (rules that avoid failures)

• Use UTF-8 encoding.

• Keep one header row.

• One record per row.

• Don’t leave required columns blank.

• Use exact values for select-like fields.

If Simola offers “download valid options”, use it. Copy values exactly.

If duplicates matter, set a primary key before uploading the CSV.

• Form Testing: Step 2: Required fields and primary key

• Form Submission: Step 2: Required fields and primary key

Example

email,first_name,last_name,company,country
[email protected],Alex,Kim,Example Inc,United States
[email protected],Sam,Patel,Simola LLC,Canada

Upload and validate

When you upload, Simola validates:

• required fields

• patterns (email/phone)

• option values

• duplicates (when primary key is set)

If validation fails, fix the CSV and upload again.
