Import Excel

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I use Bluebeam to identify staff locations on a floor plan. Is it possible to import a list of staff names to Bluebeam text fields? Right now, I have to create a new text field for each staff member, but it would be easier if I could just import this list to create multiple text fields.

You can definitely do this through the Custom Columns Choice Column. You can import data from a .csv to build out the required information. If you have a markup, say, of a person sitting, and name the Subject 'Staff location,' you can have a dropdown option that specifically works for that Subject. Also, you can now display the Custom Column Choice data in the markup through Labels in measurements.
So, I would Sketch to Scale a person's head, use the Label to ID the person's name and use the Choice column to access the dropdown to find that person's name to display on the PDF.
This is a LINK to Custom Columns
This person kinda explains it, but does not show the .csv import
