Importing names
During migration Nicknames are converted to Names and are exported to a .csv file format. Once
you have logged into DCFM, you can import this .csv file.
If the name length exceeds the limitations detailed in the following table, you must edit the name
(in the CSV file) before import. Names that exceed these limits will not be imported.
NOTE
If the Nickname was originally longer than 128 characters and was truncated to 128 characters in
the .csv file, it cannot be imported into DCFM. You must either shorten the Nickname in EFCM before
migration or edit the .csv file directly to shorten the Nickname before attempting to import it.
To import names, complete the following steps.
1. Select Configure > Names.
The Configure Names dialog box displays.
2. Click Import.
The Import Files dialog displays.
3. Browse to the .csv file location.
4. Select the .csv file and click Import.
5. Click OK to save your work.
6. Click OK on the confirmation message.
