Select this check box to clear fields with existing values when an incoming field contains an empty value. See Using NULL as a Field Value for information on how to import empty values.

If you are coalescing imported records, by default blanks in the imported data will be merged with the content in the current record, reflecting the older (populated) value.

When this box is ticked, the blanked imported field value will clear the current field's contents.

It's useful when you actually want to use a transform map to wipe out specific fields.
