    About this task

    After completing the first stage in the Customer Success Management playbook, you can continue with the Data Capture & Validation stage. In the header section, you can see the account name, the person it’s assigned to, days remaining, account status, and the data import status. Several default tables have been configured with the base system.

    To import data into these default tables, follow these steps:

    Procedure

    1. In the Upload & process files tab, select Upload files.
    2. In the Upload files window, select Add file, select the file and then select Upload.
      Note:
      Verify that the XLSX or csv file contains the accurate data that passes all the pre-defined validation checks or any custom validations that have been defined.

      The uploaded XLSX or csv file appears in the Upload & process file page.

      If any of the files being uploaded contains validation errors, none of the files get uploaded to the staging table, and an error message is displayed.
