contain spaces (or any other character specified as a delimiter) must be delimited by a
text qualifier. The double-quote or the single-quote character can be selected as a text
qualifier.

12.Click the Next button to go to the next page. Use this page to map fields (columns) of the
CSV file to the source fields (columns) of the document type that you have selected to

Select a column in the Choose columns pane and map it by selecting a data field in the
Selected column contains pane. By mapping a column to a data field, you are telling the
system to import the data from the selected column to the selected data field.
If a column in the Choose columns pane contains the name and location of documents
then map that column with the Document List option of the Selected column contains
pane. The Document List option is only available if you have specified on the first page
that the CSV file contains documents.
If a column in the Choose columns pane contains tags of the documents then map that
column with the Tags option of the Selected column contains pane. The Tags option is
only available if you have specified on the first page that the CSV file contains
documents.
If you do not wish to import a column from the Choose columns pane then map that
column with the Do not import option of the Selected column contains pane.
