Easy Populate says file was uploaded successfully at the top. The test csv file appears at the bottom of the page in Easy Populate. So my question is: how does the products populate the store. Do they come in automatically or am I supposed to click something that says - populate or something.
Once the fileis identified as being in the file directory for EP4, adjacent to the filename is an option of import. EP4 will process the file as applicable for it's name/prefix. Essentially matching the file name for an uploaded file to the filenamme of a downloaded/exported file to include all of the letters up to the date will ensure that the file will be processed as "desired".

Ie: export file example Full-EP2013Jul09-073801.csv could be downloaded, modified then saved as Full-EP.csv and would still be functional/available for EP4 to process as a file for Full details to be modified.
