2. The top row in the preview is the name of the CRM field where the data shown below it will be stored.

   

3. Go column by column and verify the data to be saved in that field matches the field name. That is, verify that there are only first names in the first name column (and only one name and that there are no blanks/missing names), only last names in the last name column, etc.

   

   

4. You may need to scroll to the right to see all columns (you may need to scroll all the way down to see this second/inner scroll bar).

   

5. If you find any errors in the data, you will need to edit your data file/spreadsheet and re-upload it on Tab #2: Upload the File and then return to Tab #5: Preview to verify that everything looks correct. If you find the data is being pushed to the wrong field/column, you will need to correct the field mapping on the Field Mapping tab.
6. Once you are certain your data file is error-free and that you have mapped the fields correctly on Tab #3: Map Fields, click the blue Confirm & Import button in the lower right. Alternatively, you can click the blue Back arrow in the lower left to exit out and complete the draft import at a later time.
