You will then be presented with a list of import options associated with Cases. Choose the Recovery Case Import option.

You will need to upload a file in CSV format with a list of Recovery Cases to import.

To import changes to existing cases, it may be easier to export them to a report first by selecting the appropriate cases in the Recovery Case datagrid and clicking Export to Report.  Once the report has been run, you can then click the "To CSV" button. This will generate a CSV file that is compatible with the import system. Make any necessary changes to the records in the CSV file, save it and choose this file to import.

Alternatively, if you don't specify an Applicant Contact ID in your input file, a new applicant will be created for the case.

Warning

Please note: imports cannot be undone once they are imported.  However, you can specify an optional tag to add to each record so you can identify all imported records.
