mapping Tag

Name	Type	Required on Add/Update	Description	Additional Information
platform field	Number		CSV column number	The tag name is the name of an object field. The number is the CSV data column it maps to. The first column is column "zero". So `<phone>1</phone>` maps the second CSV column to the `phone` field.
csvColumnName	Attribute		CSV-column identifier	The value of this attribute is displayed in the GUI to help a user map the intended columns. Learn more: Data Import Wizard

advancedOptions Tag

Name	Type	Description	Additional Information
mergeOptions	String	Possible values: DO_NOT_MERGE MERGE_USING_PRIMARY_KEY MERGE_USING_RECORD_ID	MERGE_USING_RECORD_ID works only if the record_id field is mapped.
recordOwner	Lookup	Default record owner	A User ID. Learn more: Data Ownership
lookupFieldOptions	Tag	One or more option tags governing lookup fields

lookupFieldOptions Tag

Name	Type	Required on Add	Description	Additional Information
lookupFieldOption	String		Possible values MATCH_BY_LOOKUP_ID MATCH_BY_LOOKUP_RECORD_LOCATOR field name	When a field name is specified, data in the CSV column is matched against that field in the Lookup target object.
lookupColumnTitle	Attribute		The name of the Lookup field in the platform object.

Note:
When defining a profile mapping, these are the field names to use for the standard fields defined for custom objects:

row_id - Record Id
OWNER - Record owner's name
OWNER_ID - Record owner's User ID
