After uploading a .csv file to add, update, or delete data for a data type, map the fields in your data type with the fields in the .csv file. In the Map fields step of the data import process, do the following:
In the Match existing records by field, use the autocomplete control to enter the field in the .csv file that corresponds to the field in your data type that acts as a unique identifier (key). If the fields match, the system enters the value for this field. The field uniquely maps the data records for your data type with the records in the .csv file.
For example, you can map the Employee ID field in your Employee data type with the Staff ID field in the .csv file.
Note: The update methods are not applicable when you want to add data records to a data type. The system adds new records irrespective of the update method that you select.
Note: You cannot update this value for the field that is marked as a record identifier.
