Import Question

[techaspects]

Hello.

 

My current website is ASP and MSSQL and has well over 3000 products on it and I am upgrading it to Prestashop 1.6 MySQL.  My problem is the import option built into Prestashop brings in only these fields:

ID;"Photo";"Name";"Reference";"Category";"Base price";"Final price";"Quantity";"Status";

 

Is there no way of bringing in the long and short description, subcategory, manufacturer? 

 

Also, will it import if I put everything in its own column as opposed to placing everything separated by a semicolon ; ?

 

Thank you for looking in to this for me,

Phillip Ewing
