Unable to open .csv in Collect Earth

I'm new to this tool and have followed the instructions in the User Manual to create a grid of points .01x.01 and have the required fields of Elevation, Slope and Aspect. When I try to open it using Tools/Data Import/Export/Update current records using csv I get an error message indicating invalid ID values. How can I fix this?

Thankyou,

~Natasha

Could you post the first couple of lines of your CSV??

The ID can be any alfanumeric chain.

Also, what survey are you using? Check this other answer for more info on adapting the CSV to your survey

I made my own survey to start with but I'm unable to export it so I used an IPCC survey which I was able to open in GE. But they plots are just dummy plots. I'm unclear as to how to associate my point grid with a survey. Is this done through Tools/Data/Import/Export/Update current records using csv?

The grid I generated is a .01x.01 grid as indicated in the User Manual. It isn't plots.
