====== File Import ======
Lime CRM has a built-in feature for importing simple text files starting with Lime CRM version 10.12.

===== Features =====
A brief summary of what you can do using file imports:

  * Import data to the following Lime CRM field types:
    * Integer
    * Option
    * Relation
    * Decimal
    * Yes/No
    * Time
    * Text
    * Formatted Text
    * Link
  * The file format should be .txt or .csv, and it should have a separator such as ";".
  * Use one or more columns as a key used when looking up existing records.
  * Choose whether to only create new records, only update existing records or both create and update.
  * View job history
  * Map file data to individual options in option fields. For example, "CEO", "CFO" and "CTO" titles from the import file can be mapped to a "Management" option in a Lime CRM option field. It is also possible to supply a default option to be used.
  * Get detailed information on errors that occur during an import with the option to download a new file containing only the erroneous rows.
