How does a replace import work?

Introduction

When programming an active list or loading a new file for a static list, you are prompted to choose from two types of import for this file:

• import replace type
• import update type

This choice defines how the import will impact the contact list.

"Replace"

This type of import is used to respond to a contact list feed using full files containing all the data present in the source.

The "replace "type import performs the following processing:

• Deletion of contacts present in the contact list;
• Creation of contacts present in the file.
