Replace all existing entries	You have already imported a file and you wish to import a new file of the same type, use this option to specify for all previous entries to be overwritten. When this option is not selected, the existing entries will not be erased and the new file import will insert entries.
File	Please click on “Find". Now, you can search your drive for a csv file and select a file. Note: To know precisely what a csv file needs to look like, we created a respective template for you per type, which you can find in the download section on the administration portal. This shows you the exact format required for each type. Be aware, that all import fields CAN NOT EXCEED the maximum length! E.G. DisplayName greather then 50 chars.
