Field Descriptions
Duplicate Record Processing
You can select which behavior the program should use when it encounters a record in the
import text file that is already in the database.
Update Always update the database with data from the import
text file.
Add Only Ignore duplicate records in the import text file.
Ask Ask the operator on a case by case basis what to do with
duplicate records. The operator will be presented with a
list of duplicate records and can choose which ones to
accept or reject.
Merge Only This is the opposite of the Add Only option. Only import
records that already exist in the database will be
processed.
Case Insensitive Compare
The Import/Export Utility considers a record as duplicate when every field in the
imported record equals the corresponding field in the database record. When checked, the
compare for a duplicate record is case insensitive for text fields. In other words, ABC
equals abc.
Import Change Log

include the following additional information:
Duplicate Reject Log Include the list of duplicate records that were
rejected.
Criteria Reject Log Include the list of records that were rejected
because they didn't meet all selection criteria.
