MAXCS ACC 6.7.1 Administration Manual 381
If you overwrite an extension, fields that are not specified in the .csv file are not
overwritten with default values or blank values. For example, if the column
Department is not included in the .csv file, but is configured in the extension that
you overwrote, the Department field is not reset to the default value when the
extension is overwritten.
When the import is finished, a report file opens showing detailed information for
every extension you attempted to import. If some fields are invalid, the system
replaces them with a default value, except for the extension number field.
The name of the text file is the same as the .csv file, except that the file extension
is .txt.
