Understanding CSV Data Import Results

  • Updated

After importing data from a CSV file, you can review the import results to see which records were created, updated, or excluded. You can also download an audit report to investigate matching issues and troubleshoot import errors.


Access CSV Data Import Results

  1. From the left navigation bar, go to Database > [Object] > Data Import.
  2. Click the name of a data import job.

Important: Demandbase automatically deletes the audit report and original CSV source file two years after the import.
