Mandatory Fields For Member Imports

Link: https://support.brilliantdirectories.com/support/solutions/articles/5000568062-mandatory-fields-for-member-imports

If there are any issues during the import process, it may be caused by one of the following mandatory fields missing:


Field: name and/or company 


Include either the "name" or "company" fields. It is also possible to include both. 


Name - Combines the first and last name. 

Company - Company name


Field: listing_type


Company - Will display the company name in search results

Individual - Will display the name in search results. This is a popular option for Doctor directories. 


Field: country_code


Two-letter country codes are assigned to each listing. Although only the country_code is absolutely required, not including zip_code and city will not allow for accurate geo-coding. This leads to a poor user experience. 


Field: profession_name


Top-level categories associated with each member. This is the minimum required to have members import and display properly.
