Use this order of fields shown below with commas separating each value (and no spaces around the commas). Not all fields are required; some can be left blank.

Custom fields begin with the name in the 8th field, (column H). The custom field value goes in the next field (column I).

  • To specify subfolders, use backslash "\" between folder names

  • To set shared folder permission on the record, use the #edit or #reshare tags as seen below

  • Enclose fields in quotes for multi-line or special characters

  • Ensure files are UTF-8 encoded for support of international or double-byte characters
