About Matches

The Matches tab on the import setup allows you to easily import into database files than the Employee base data. If you are importing (for example) company cars, you may find that importing without using the matches will import a second car even if there is one with a matching registration already. To prevent this, we can use the matches tab to match more fields than just the employee number in the import. If, for example, we use the Registration number of the car as well, the import routine will look for the combination of employee number and registration number. If it finds a match on both, it will update the record, if no match for both is found, it will create a new one.
