Introduction
Account profile data can be exported from and imported to the EII console in a comma-delimited format. Any .csv file used to handle this detail will have a specific format, and the beginning row of the file defines each field. This article defines each of those fields, and explains their purpose.
Example File
Below is a segment of an example.csv file.
Customer Name,Address 1,Address 2,City,State,Zip,Contact Name,Phone Number,Customer Notes,Customer Email,Customer Account Barcode Type,Customer Barcode Field,Custom Account Number,Department Name,...
Example ACC,123 Main St,Suite 22,USA City,IN,44444,Joe Smith,555-555-5555,Notes,example@email.com,Code 39,34324,1234,Example Department,... |
The first row displays the titles of each field, and every following row creates or records a separate account profile, or a department of an account profile.
The second row displays an example department field.
