Select Fields

During the import process, Yeeflow will match the columns in your file to your selected object type's properties based on the [header name] and [ Property name]. Otherwise, you can manually map your column headers to user properties. Ensure that the data in the rows match up to the correct header (e.g. rows with email data should have data in columns that map to login account, and rows with department id data should have data in columns that map to department properties).

Login Account(Property) is mandatory to be matched with an email address. it's unchangeable once it's created.

Department & Location (Property) can be addressed with the IDs (Code). The department ID and location ID are codes that appear right after the department or location name in their management sections,
