Before you begin, make sure you have:- A verified Gridix account
- Access to the admin dashboard

Choosing a Creation Method
Gridix offers two ways to create a project:- Import from Excel/Google Sheets
- Manual Setup
Best for projects with existing data in spreadsheets. Supports:
- Excel files (.xlsx, .xls)
- CSV files
- Google Sheets (via link)
Method 1: Import from Excel
Open project creation
In the admin dashboard, click “Projects” in the sidebar, then click “Create New Project”.

Gridix will detect your columns automatically. Review and adjust the mapping if needed:
