Upload or Replace BFA Budget Import Map

If you are the System Administrator (or have permission to use the Manage Dashboard or System Admin Dashboard), you can upload a mapping file for use in the Import Wizard. Once the file is uploaded through the Templates tool, the file will appear by default as the mapping file in the Import Wizard’s opening screen.

4. In Name, enter either the name of the saved file on your computer holding your budget import mapping or another name of this file, such as “BFA Budget Import Map”. Paths and file extensions are not necessary.
5. In Type, select BFA Budget Import Map.
6. In Description, enter a description of the file, for example “Default mapping file for the Budget’s Import Wizard’.
7. Accept the row.
8. Save the Templates tool.
9. Click Template Document in the row you just added. (You might need to look for it.) The Upload Template window will open.
