Question
The sales manager receives a list of leads from a partner company monthly. The field names that are provided do not match the fields in Microsoft Dataverse tables. A data map does not exist.
You need to import the leads without changing the data from the partner company.
What should you do?
- A. Create a data map on the first import by using the Import Data wizard. Correct
- B. Add a template for Import Data.
- C. Use Import Field Translations.
- D. Create a data map in Data Management.
Explanation
When you import a file whose column headings do not match the Dataverse column names, the Import Data wizard shows the unmatched columns on the Review Mapping step and lets you map each one to the right column by hand, so the partner's file can be imported exactly as received. In the same wizard you can enter a name in the Name your data map box to save the mapping, so the monthly lead files can reuse it next time without mapping again. Import Field Translations imports translated text for localized field values, not column mappings. Adding an import template would mean reshaping the partner's data to fit the template, which the requirement rules out. Creating a data map separately in Data Management is extra work compared with building and saving it during the first import.
