How does the import work?

We import data using an upsert method. This means records are either created or updated depending on if a valid reference to an existing record is found.

How do I structure the CSV file?

The column header values in the CSV should map onto the developer names of the fields in the table you are importing in to.

You can also use the column header "_sid" to provide a target record to be updated using the Record ID.

Values for multi-value fields such as Multiple Select and Link to Multiple Records can be provided in comma-separated format.
