7DESCRIPTION
8
9        Allows to import data from calc-sheets.
10
11        Your data HAS TO contain a column which allows
12        to identify a species in arb, i.e. a column
13        containing a unique identifier (e.g. the arb species id ('name')
14        or the 'acc' field).
15
16        Workflow:
17
18          * export your calc-sheet in
19            * .csv format (comma separated values) or
20            * .tsv format (tab separated values),
21          * select that file at "Import from CSV",
22          * select format type,
23          * select which sheet-column/arb-field combination
24            identifies the target species.
25
26        Each execution of this funtion does import ONE column
27        from your file. For each step select
28
29          * sheet-column to import and
30          * target-field desired.
31
32        Additional options:
33
34          * how to handle non-matching sheet-rows.
35          * import scope (marked/all)
36          * set marks of modified species.
37          * field type
