Viewing the Import Results #

The contacts can now be found in your PCRecruiter database within your Default Company. We also provide a summary of the import that you can access at any time in your Documents Folder (CSV File).

Duplicates are identified by First Name, Last Name and Email Address (“Main” email address for Windows users, or the First Email for Mac users). If a duplicate is found, it will be listed on the CSV but no data will be updated within PCR.

Note: If you run the Importer multiple times in the same day, the file will be updated. If the file is open while running the Importer it will not be updated.
