Lists

Lists contain records that are all on the same level. These lists can consist of only one field, or they can consist of multiple fields, such as first and last name for persons.

Last updated 2 years ago

The CSV file must contain a column header. This can be freely assigned. It is recommended to use meaningful names, as these names will be used later during the mapping. If the column headers in the CSV file correspond to the internal field names in FYLR, the field mapping is done automatically.
