The import wizard lets you add contacts, companies, and placements from a spreadsheet. Open Import from the account menu, then move through Upload data, Map columns, and Review and edit. Mapping shows a live preview of each row, and a placement import includes the deal plus label mapping. When you finish, the records are ready to enter your CRM or the deal you selected.
