Tip: To import repeating fields via a .csv spreadsheet in the Uploader make sure each repeating field has the # sign and a successive number following it. To continue with the example used above, the .csv spreadsheet for import would look like this, where "Nickname", "Creation Year" and "Century" are repeating fields:

More Tips About Repeating Fields
- When you have multiple values for the same field, for example, "Carpet" and "Fragment" for Subject, the Field Groups are a great way to support these kinds of repeating fields. Of course your data could just read "Subject: SpainCarpet; EuropeFragment", but in order to have both those terms be represented uniquely in the facets of the LUNA Viewer it's best to enter them separately as a repeating field.But if If you choose to keep multiple values in one field, be sure you separate them with a semi-colon. This way they will parse out correctly in the LUNA Viewer data panel search:
- In the LUNA Viewer thumbnail fields, repeating fields will be presented in brackets.
- When doing a group edit in the Record Editor, the change will be additive. For example, if you select 2 records to group edit and they each have values in a repeating field then any new value you add will simply be added- it will not delete the existing data. Since LUNA doesn't know which of the multiple repeating fields you might want to replace with the new data, it will simply add it.
