Template CSV File Format

Although it is possible to edit and create all your templates and buttons completely within the Peerbots app, it is also possible to create templates in standardized spreadsheet tools such as Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets or OpenOffice Calc.

When you create a template in a spreadsheet editor outside of Peerbots, you MUST include the following 7 columns, in correct order, and with the correct spelling and lowercase letters in the first row for Peerbots to parse the file correctly:

title | color | emotion | speech | goal | subgoal | proficiency

(Note: For a description of what each of these properties does, check the article on Editing Buttons.)

When you are done and ready to use template from the spreadsheet editor in Peerbots, export it as a ".csv" file, and then import it to the Peerbots app.
