General Notes
Date Fields
When manually entering any date for an import, it must be in one of the following formats (For CSV files):
- YYYY-MM-DD
- MM-DD-YYYY
- 2023-03-02T00:00:00Z (for database exported data)
When a file is saved/imported as an Excel file, the format is not important.
1. Use the standard field Address (
address_string ) only when the full address is available. - This field should contain the complete address (street, city, state, postal code) in the same cell.
- street (
street_address) - city (
city) - state (
state) - Postal Code (
postal_code)
3. If only latitude and longitude are available, there is no need to populate other address fields.
4. Address takes priority over latitude/longitude.
Imports to Update Existing Data
TermSheet allows for bulk updates to existing data through import. The TermSheet ID is the unique identifier that is mapped from the import to the existing record to ensure the changes are applied to the correct existing records.
To view any record's ID field, enable it in a report (via Report Builder) 
or in any View (in the object/module itself) then export the records. 
Non Importable Fields
Some fields are not able to be added/updated via import template. These include calculated fields and fields that have been hidden in the platform. To double check if a field is importable or not, visit Fields in Settings to review the Importable column.

Deal Imports
