# Adding/Importing Multiple Markets

_Project Details · SurveyTester Academy_

The system can automatically create Markets for multi‑market projects by extracting unique market parameters from either test survey URLs or a pasted table (Excel). Use the **Test URLs flow** when you have sample survey links that include market parameters (for example, country=TH). Use the **Table flow** when you already have a two‑column list of market names and parameter values.

##### **Auto‑Import from Test Survey URLs**

**Step 1: Open Markets:** From Project Details, select Markets. **Step 2: Start Import:** Click Add Multiple Markets.**
Step 3: Provide Test URLs:** Paste one or more test survey URLs (one per line) into the input field and click Next. **Step 4: System analysis:** The system parses the URLs and identifies unique market‑related parameters and values (for example, country=TH, AUD=2).

You will see a list of discovered parameter names and their unique values, plus a dropdown to choose which parameter should act as the Market variable (for example, country or region).

## Step 5: Create Markets
-   Select the appropriate Market variable from the dropdown.
-   Click Create X Markets to generate Markets from the selected parameter values.
-   Example: the system detects country=TH and creates Market: Thailand (TH).

Example created: country=TH → Market: Thailand (TH) ![](https://www.surveytester.com/academy/_img/project-details/addingimporting-multiple-markets/en/embedded-image-zoanopfg.png)

##### **Auto-import from a Table**

**Step 1: Open Markets:** From Project Details, select Markets.
**Step 2: Start import:** Click Add Multiple Markets.
**Step 3: Provide table data (Excel):** Copy and paste your market data in a two‑column format (Market name, parameter value) and click Next.
**Step 4: System analysis:** The system reads the pasted table, detects column headings and values, and displays the columns that map to market name and parameter value.  ![](https://www.surveytester.com/academy/_img/project-details/addingimporting-multiple-markets/en/embedded-image-hirxqfpq.png)

**Step 5: Create Markets:** Confirm the column mappings, then click Create X Markets to add the Markets to the project. ![](https://www.surveytester.com/academy/_img/project-details/addingimporting-multiple-markets/en/embedded-image-n8k4oisa.png)

## Notes and validation behavior
-   **Preview**: Before creation, the system shows a preview of parsed values so you can confirm or edit mappings.
-   **Duplicate values**: Detected duplicate parameter values will be highlighted for review and resolution.
-   **Unrecognized parameters**: If the system cannot confidently identify a Market variable, it prompts you to select the correct parameter manually.
-   **Display names**: The UI offers a way to convert parameter codes into readable display names (for example, TH → Thailand) and to edit display names prior to creation.
