Optimal CSV Structure for Importing into Webflow CMS: Horizontal vs Vertical Layout

I have a CSV file (my database) with 800+ records and I need to import this in Webflow CMS and I am wondering what the best way is to structure my CSV to be compatible with Webflow’s CMS as I don’t know the records limitation of Webflow’s CMS?

Currently I have two options in terms of CSV structure:

  • Option 1 (horizontally): one row with all the records on the columns (leaving me with 800+ columns. )
  • Option 2 (vertically): one column with all the records on the rows (leaving me with 800+ rows.)

As I don’t know that Webflow’s maximum records is per CMS Item/Collection, I was wondering what the best structure is?

CSV is always a record per row.
The top row is the column headings.

Webflow will import each row as an item.
The number of CMS items total you can have depends on your plan, I believe it’s 2k for CMS plan, 10k for Business plan.
