A mapping profile is used in Data Import. It tracks how to match CSV data fields with the record structure defined in the platform. It also specifies whether incoming data is appended or merged, and determines how a merge occurs.
Multiple Mapping Profiles can be created for the same object, one for each CSV file that uses a different arrangement.

- Select the file containing CSV Data (Required. See note below)
