Import Requirements

When importing new records there are certain fields that are compulsory. If you don't populate these fields your import will fail. The fields required differ according to the type of records you're importing. The table below shows which fields are mandatory for which records. Take some time to check that the data you're importing contains the necessary fields. The table also shows which record types can be imported at the same time as the main record type.
