Info
The column order does not matter; the system will detect it automatically.



Additional Information

The column which contains the Eartag must be between 1-6 digits.   If the eartag is greater than 6 digits, the import will fail. 
The column which contains the EID must be exactly 15 digits.   If the EID is less than 15 or greater than 15 digits, the import will fail. 
If the data file contains any duplicate values, the import will fail.
