  • Profile Load: The field can be populated with a profile load. Select either:
    • All Users: When a profile load is performed, the data found in the upload file will overwrite any existing data in this field for existing user. We recommend not using this option unless users are not enabled to edit that field in their profiles.
    • New Users Only: When a profile load is performed, the data found in the upload file will only write to this field for new users. It will not overwrite any existing data in this field for existing user. We recommend choosing this option.
