The provided Excel workbook contains multiple sheets dividing records into logical groups. To transfer records into one of the sheets, copy/paste your records into the desired sheet.
Required Fields (columns):
Each sheet has required fields highlighted in red which must be filled in order to import the selected sheet.
Data Types:
Data type refers to the format of the data in each column. The content saved in each column must match its intended format. For example, a date data type requires a date formatted as mm/dd/yyyy and any other date format, such as “May 20th”, would not be valid. The data type and an example of the data type are provided as a comment on each column name. Mouse over the column heading to view the comment.
