## Google Sheet

Our preferred options are for you to provide [structured data markup](structured-data-types) directly in the webpages that describe your training materials, or provide a single page with the markup for all the materials. This may not be possible, for example, if you have technical restrictions with your content management system.

We offer an alternative option for a user to provide a collection of training materials in a spreadsheet format, following our template. (This method currently does not support ingesting events.)

To prepare and register a spreadsheet of materials to ingest:

1. Create a new Google Sheet.
2. Open the template Google Sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yx2AZTPaPEU_Au2Hyb_C3TuNvH4btR9pZwCmfmTQRdc/.
3. Select everything from the `Example` sheet {kbd}`CTRL/CMD+A`, copy and paste it in your empty new sheet.
4. Enter the details of your training materials under the headings provided.
````{margin}
```{warning}
Some restrictions apply to specific columns, for example, the cells under the `Keywords` column must be a comma-separated list. See the list of restrictions in the [`DataDictionary` sheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yx2AZTPaPEU_Au2Hyb_C3TuNvH4btR9pZwCmfmTQRdc/edit?gid=2096797962#gid=2096797962).
```
````
5. One row corresponds to one training material, you can add as many rows/materials as you want.
6. Once your Google Sheet is ready, give the URL to your TeSS administrator and ask them to use it for the Materials Ingestion Method: CSV File and Google Spreadsheet.

TeSS will scan your spreadsheet once per day to ingest any new and changed training materials.
