Updating Existing Project Risk Levels
Apart from specifying the ID
or the Source
and Source ID
columns to find an existing record, R-Service is also able to match existing records using the Reference
value.
This means that when an ID
, Source
and Source ID
are not provided in the import file, and the given Reference
value matches one of the Project Risk Levels in the current Account, all the fields of that project risk level will be overwritten with the values provided in this import file. If the Source
and Source ID
columns are present in the import file, these fields will be cleared in the project risk level that matches the given Reference
value.
