Preparing Assignment-Related Data for Import

This topic is part of Exporting and Importing Assignment-Related Data.

Validate that the assignment-related data was successfully exported into the spreadsheet file. Make sure that any changes you make support your business needs and take into account all documented limitations. Later, you can import a modified file in order to update existing assignment-related data or add new data.

For example, through editing the spreadsheet file, you can do the following (subject to limitations):

• Add, update, or delete skills or skill items associated with existing positions.
• Add, update, or delete criteria, criteria items, or position candidates associated with an existing assignment rule.

Before you import data from the spreadsheet file, review the information about limitations for importing assignment-related data and the relevant user keys for importing assignment-related data, in Limitations for Importing Assignment-Related Data.

NOTE:  You cannot add, update, or delete positions or assignment rules through importing the spreadsheet file.

For instructions for importing data from a spreadsheet file you exported and modified, see Importing Assignment-Related Data.
