Importing contacts
Business administrators can import contact records into a staging area in NexJ CRM. When they are importing contacts, they must create an import package containing one or more CSV files, as well as information mapping the data in the file to the correct fields in NexJ CRM. Business administrators and end users can then review and correct the information, check to see if it matches any existing contacts, and complete the import.
For more information, see "Preparing contact import data and importing contacts" in the application administration documentation and "Imported contact data" in the end-user documentation.

Improvement to the out-of-the-box Attachment model
