You can now edit your column mappings. If your columns have changed significantly it can be easier to refresh the list of columns in here completely. To do this, select Auto-Add.
If you have just added one or two columns, you can use the Add Column button to include these.
To remove columns from your Import Profile, click Delete.
Can I test an Import?
The Import tool does not have a testing function. However, you can apply tests to your Import Profile to validate the data. More formal, full tests tend to be run on the test platform, or using a small subset of data on the live platform first
What is the benefit of using an Import to update existing objects instead of the Bulk Update function in Datagrids?
Bulk updating through the DataGrids is a much faster process for updating objects in the platform. However, the Bulk Update only allows you to update one value at a time, i.e. set all User statuses to Enabled, or set all employment end dates to 31/12/2017. Within an Import file you're able to provide a variety of values, and they can all be updated in one process.
