Can I select more than one column as the Reference / Identifier?

Last updated on Aug 31, 2026

Short Answer: Yes — under 'Reference / Identifier' you can select multiple columns; each selected column appears as a removable token e.g., 'Identifier', 'TestCaseID'.

PreRequisites

  1. Open the report's 'Configure file' modal

  2. Header row set correctly so column names appear

Steps

  1. Open the report's 'Configure file' modal by clicking the pencil icon on the report tile.
    You see the 'Reference / Identifier' field under Required fields.

  2. Click the 'Reference / Identifier' dropdown and select the first column for example 'Identifier'.
    A token labeled 'Identifier' appears inside the field.

  3. Select an additional column for example 'TestCaseID'.
    Both tokens appear e.g., 'Identifier' and 'TestCaseID'.

  4. To remove a selected identifier, click the 'x' on the token.
    Token is removed and will not be used as a match key.

Troubleshooting

  1. Reference / Identifier dropdown is empty or missing expected column.
    LikelyCause: Header row is incorrect so headers are not detected.
    Action: Set the correct 'Header row' so the column names populate, then re-open the dropdown.

Note: Using multiple identifier columns can improve matching when a single key is insufficient.
