# Import a cert package

## Quick guide to importing a PDF to create a SmartCert

**Using the Import Dashboard**

The Import dashboard is where you create SmartCerts from your inventory or customer shipment documents.

**To get started:**

1. Click the **Import** tab.
2. Drag and drop one or more files from your computer, or click the **Manual Upload** button in the upper right corner.
3. Our AI will scan each document and pull in the data based on your layout settings.
4. Once processed, your SmartCerts will show up on the **Created** dashboard.

**Keep in mind:** One file = One SmartCert.

**Processing times may vary** depending on the document type, number of pages, document quality, and other factors, so give it a moment if things don't appear right away.

**Having trouble?** If your documents aren't importing or your SmartCerts aren't showing up, reach out to our support team at  support@smartcert.tech.
