Standard Fields

When you import a CSV into Daisychain, you should include column headers for each field.

Standard headers found in the template file (available here and in Step One of the CSV Import Wizard). Alternative header names will be auto-matched by our importer — see the table below for more details.

Note that you do not need to include all of the fields below when uploading a CSV file. The minimal requirement for successful CSV upload is email address and/or phone number.
