Capability

This Import allows the User to UPDATE existing Service Desk Equipment Charge records.

Important Notes

When a field is mapped using Column Mapping or Conditional Logic, the value for that field will be used regardless of the value. This means that if the value is left blank in the file, the value will be blank on the record. If you need to map a column but ignore blanks, Conditional Logic may be used; see the example below.

if (trim([<COLUMN_INDEX>]) !== '')
    [<FIELD_IDENTIFIER>] = [<COLUMN_INDEX>];
