I've uploaded products today with EasyPopulate. The products are showing on my catalog main page but nowhere else. They were listed in 3 sub-categories in the spreadsheet. Do I need to create links for the sub-categories?
To get a real 'handle' on how it works; create products in sub-categories, download using EP (with model numbers), then look at the file in a spreadsheet. Pay attention to the settings for EP that are shown in the Admin screen, right-hand side.

There is no limit on sub-categories (AFAIK) but I'd suggest no more than 4.
Create a test category. Click on it's 'folder' icon to open the category, then create a new category (called say test-sub-category).

That's just the info I needed, thanks.
I created sub-cats and a product and downloaded the file (as per Ridex's instructions). Unfortunately, all the info went into one cell in the spreadsheet, which made it kind of difficult to read.
But I did see that the name in the category header cell didn't quite match what I had and I noticed in the Admin column in the right that it's using a newer version of EasyPopulate.
I was using 2.72 so I have now downloaded 2.76 and will try that.
That worked, so the problem was EP 2.72
The post was in the 'Max section, so the assumption was that you were already on EP 2.76g.
