Article summary

Bank activity can be imported using a CSV file. When importing, the columns in the CSV file must be mapped to their corresponding columns on the Bank Activity page. The CSV Map Fields window opens during the import process, allowing users to map the columns from the CSV file to those on the Bank Activity page. Once created, saved mappings can be viewed, edited and deleted as needed.
