Note: The import file uses a comma/semicolon as the field delimiter. The import file must include the comma/semicolon delimiter, even for optional fields. Column headers should not be included.
If a particular record fails validation during the import, the system will create an error file with the records that the system could not import. Review the report and make any corrections necessary. Once the errors have been resolved, try the import process again.
