How do I map columns in the Import modal after uploading a file?

Short Answer: When the Import modal opens, review the sample rows on the left, use the dropdowns or inputs on the right to assign your file columns to system fields, then click the modal’s primary button to save the mapping. PreRequisites 1. You have uploaded a file and the Import modal is open preview table visible Steps 1. In the Import modal, look at the sample rows table on the left to confirm which column contains which data. You can see sample values from your file to help mapping decisions. 2. On the right side of the modal, set each mapping control dropdown or input to the corresponding column from your file. Each required system field is assigned to a column. 3. If a required column is missing, close the modal, update the file to include the header/column, and re-upload. File contains all required columns for successful mapping. 4. Click the modal’s primary button bottom-right to save mappings and proceed. Modal closes and the mapping is applied to the uploaded file. Troubleshooting 1. A required mapping control shows '–' or empty and you cannot proceed. LikelyCause: The file does not include a usable column for that required field. Action: Edit the file to add or rename the header so it’s clear, then re-upload and map again. 2. Values look incorrect after mapping dates/numbers malformed. LikelyCause: Incorrect column chosen or formatting/locale differences e.g., date format, decimal separator. Action: Choose the correct column, or normalize the file standard date format, consistent decimal separator and re-upload. Note: Always verify sample rows in the left pane match the mapping you set on the right before saving.

PreRequisites 1. You are on the New reconciliation page screen shows 'New reconciliation' 2. The file you want to upload is saved locally and accessible Steps 1. On the New reconciliation page, locate the upload card you need left or right labelled by the empty upload area with an upload icon. Upload card is visible and clickable. 2. Click the middle of the upload card the area with the upload icon to open your computer’s file picker. Operating system file dialog opens so you can choose a file. 3. Select the file and confirm; wait for the Import modal to appear with a preview of the uploaded file. A preview table appears in the Import modal so you can map columns. 4. Review the preview, set column mappings on the right, and confirm to attach the file to the page. The file shows as uploaded on its card on the New reconciliation page. Troubleshooting 1. The Import modal opens but the preview table is empty. LikelyCause: File has no data rows, uses an unusual delimiter, or the header row is missing. Action: Open the file in Excel or a text editor, ensure there is a header row and data rows, save with a common delimiter comma or tab, then re-upload. 2. Upload hangs or times out. LikelyCause: Large file size or intermittent network. Action: Try a smaller sample file, check your network, or split large exports into smaller files and re-upload.

What does the import preview table show and how should I use it?

Short Answer: The import preview table shows sample rows from your uploaded file so you can verify the data and choose correct column mappings before saving. PreRequisites 1. You have uploaded a file and the Import modal is open preview visible Steps 1. Open the Import modal by uploading a file from the Create view. A preview table with sample rows from the file appears on the left. 2. Scan the sample rows to identify which file column contains dates, descriptions, amounts, or other key values. You can clearly identify columns to map. 3. Use the mapping controls on the right to assign each required system field to the correct column from the preview. Mappings reflect the data shown in the sample rows. 4. If sample rows look wrong e.g., missing headers or shifted columns, close the modal and correct the file before re-uploading. A corrected file yields an accurate preview for mapping. Troubleshooting 1. Preview rows show header text among data rows. LikelyCause: Header row is not recognized extra blank rows above header or the file includes extra lines. Action: Open the file, remove extra blank rows above the header, save, and re-upload. 2. Numbers or dates display incorrectly in preview. LikelyCause: Locale/format mismatch e.g., comma vs period decimal separator or non-standard date format. Action: Normalize formatting in your source/export use ISO dates or US format, then re-upload. Note: Use the left preview to validate mapping decisions — accurate mapping prevents later reconciliation errors.

Why did my upload fail and how do I fix 'Upload failed' errors?

Short Answer: An 'Upload failed' message means the system couldn’t process the file; common fixes are to re-export or reformat the file, check file size/encoding, and re-upload. PreRequisites 1. You attempted an upload and saw an 'Upload failed' or similar error modal Steps 1. Read the exact message in the 'Upload failed' modal for any specific cause or hint. You understand if the failure is format, size, or content related. 2. If the file is exported from a bank or another system, re-export it, choosing a standard format and including headers. A fresh clean file that often resolves format issues. 3. Open the file in Excel/text editor to verify there are no password protections, empty header rows, or unusual delimiters; save again as CSV or XLSX if needed. File is readable and uses standard delimiters/encoding. 4. Try uploading a small sample first 50 rows to confirm format is accepted before uploading the full file. Small sample uploads successfully, confirming acceptable format. 5. If issues persist, capture the error message and contact support with the file for assistance. Support can reproduce and advise on the required file format. Troubleshooting 1. Modal displays 'Upload failed' without detail. LikelyCause: Generic processing error, possibly due to corrupt file or unsupported encoding. Action: Open the file in a text editor, save with UTF-8 encoding, remove unusual characters, then retry upload. 2. Upload fails only for very large files. LikelyCause: Server or browser timeouts / size limits. Action: Split the export into smaller files and upload them separately, or contact support to confirm file size limits. 3. Mapping step fails after upload. LikelyCause: Required columns are missing or column headers are malformed. Action: Edit the file to include clear header names, save, and re-upload so you can map correctly. Note: The Import modal and 'Upload failed' modal are the key places to read exact error details — copy the error text when contacting support.
