Employee Import Tool - Custom fields mapping

Written by Amanda

Custom fields can be mapped in the columns in the same way as standard fields, with a few important considerations.

Custom Field Types and Mapping Rules

  1. Yes / No Custom Fields

    • Supported Values:

      • 1 / 0

      • Yes / No

  2. Multiple Choice Custom Fields

    • Required Structure:

      • Format: [“value”, “value”]

  3. Multiple Choice and Select Box Custom Fields

    • Value Dependency:

      • The value entered must match exactly with the value specified in the custom field setup (1:1 value name matching).

Important Note

  • The format in which a custom field is exported must be the same format used for importing it. Ensure that the custom field values are consistent and correctly structured according to the type-specific requirements outlined above.

Example

The way we export a custom field e.g. as ["Option1", "Option2"] for “Multiple choice”, we import it in the same format to maintain consistency and accuracy in the data mapping process.
