== Entry Audit Fields ==
The Create Date, Created By, Update Date, and Updated By fields are automatically maintained by CatalogIt which records when and which authorized user Created or Updated an Entry record. These fields ARE NOT the place to record when an Object was created; use “Made or Created -> Date made -> Date” or similar fields for that information.

You can import to these fields if you have this information, but it’s important that you understand how these fields are different from other “Create Date” fields.
 
== Import your Data ==
 
After you’ve finished mapping your columns, click the “Next” button in the upper right corner. This brings you to a screen where you can view all of the columns you’ve mapped and the CatalogIt fields you’ve mapped them to. If you are satisfied, click “Import” in the upper right corner, and you’ll see your import take shape. If it is particularly large (thousands of rows), it may take several minutes. You are done!
 
== Reusing Mapping Configurations ==
=== Save Mapping Configurations ===
Creating a mapping can be time-consuming so saving it for future use can be beneficial.
 
To save a mapping configuration click the Save icon on either the mapping or confirmation step of the import process.
