1001

Unknown error

The system is unable to process the file due to an unknown error.

Your data was not imported.

Confirm that your file meets all requirements. Try to re-import after clearing your browser cache or using another browser.

1002

Multiple owners found 

"The import file contains an Owner value that matches more than one user in the account. This usually occurs for names (e.g., there are two John Doe users in your Vintory account, and the import file contained the name "John Doe"). The affected records were imported, but the Owner's property does not contain a value."    

Replace the name of the owner with their email address in your import file, then re-import the file. You can also manually update the Owner property value in the affected records.

1003

Invalid sheet count

"The import file contains more than one sheet. Your data was not imported."


Remove any additional sheets from your import file, then re-import. Review additional file requirements for importing into the system.

1004

Invalid required property

"A required property in the import file contains an invalid value. The data in that row was not imported."

Confirm the format requirements of your specific property or the property type, update your file to match the correct format, then re-import.

1005

Invalid enumeration option

"The import file contains a value that does not match an existing option in an enumeration property. This applies to multi-select, dropdown select, radio select, and checkbox-type properties.

The affected records were still imported, but the enumeration property does not contain a value."

Identify the incorrect value by comparing your import file against the property in the system. You can choose to update the value in your import file to match an existing option or add the value as a custom option to your property. Once you're done, re-import the file or manually update the property value in the affected records.

1006

Invalid contact ID

"During the import, the checkbox to update existing records using Contact IDs was selected. However, the Contact ID listed in the file did not match an existing ID in the system.

The records were not imported."

Ensure that the [object] IDs are correct. You may need to export your existing records to get the correct object IDs. If you're not updating or associating existing objects in the system, do not select the checkbox during the import process.

1007

File not found

"The file you selected was not found. Your data was not imported." 

Verify that you have saved your file to your computer and that it is the correct file type. Once you've done that, re-upload the file.

1009 

Empty unique property value in the file

"The import file contains a row with data that cannot be processed because there is no value against the record of its unique identifier (primary column)."

1010

Duplicate unique property value in the HL    

"The same value of the primary column is present against multiple records. Your data was imported against all  records but there may be duplicates of the same record in the system"

Duplicate unique property value in the file

"The same unique value was used multiple times within your files. Your data was imported but there may be duplicates of the same record in the system. If you were trying to associate, your records were not associated."

1012

Duplicate Contact ID in the file    

"The same Contact ID was used multiple times within your files.

The affected records were not updated or associated in the system."

Update your import file so that there is only one row with that Contact ID. Keep the row with the most up-to-date information that you want to be included in the system. Once you've removed duplicates, re-import the files.
