A third option is available called "Match or Insert on a linked asset (e.g. a property)". For any import types that have an asset associated with them, you can either specify an asset code or an asset's address. If an item is found with a matching asset of that code or address it will update this item.
Additional Settings
Test Only
It may be useful to test your import before actually importing your data. To do this, click on the Test Only checkbox. This will run through the import process and attempt to import each line of the import file but it won't actually save the records. Once the test import is complete it will return a "Complete" or "Error" status allowing you to view the details of any errors so you can fix up any issues before performing an actual import of your data.
Rollback on Error
If selected, if there are any errors with your import the entire import will be rolled back and nothing will be inserted, updated or deleted. It is always a good idea to to keep this option selected.

The comment box allows you to enter an optional comment which will be displayed on the Dashboard and audit history log once the import is complete. Leave this field blank if you do not wish to add a comment for audit history.
Click the Import button to commence the import. You can refresh the page at any time to display the status of your import in a table at the bottom of the import screen. (See Viewing Details of your Import below).
