1. What type of files can be imported to Anaplan: txt, csv, flat-file with a different
separator specified (eg. Semi-colon or pipe | )
2. What are 3 common errors when importing a list: Invalid parent, Format
mismatch, Numbered list name
3. When importing a data file, there are two steps:: File options - How does
Anaplan read the file?
Mapping - Which rows of data should be imported? How will Anaplan identify the
unique items?
4. Importing errors - Invalid Parent means: that the source data (for the child list)
mapped to the Parent field does not match any list member of the parent list. Child
list items roll up to their respective parent list members. When you try to import child
list items into a list before the parent list has been populated, or when the parent is
not included among the parent list's items, Anaplan cannot find the parent. Anaplan
will still import the new list items to the child list, but it will place them at the bottom
of the list, with no parent designated.
5. Importing errors - Format Mismatch means: the format of the data being
imported does not match the format of the property to which it is mapped. When you
import into a property of a list, you will get an error if the format will not accept the
import. For example, if you try to import the text "Product A" into a number-formatted
property, you will get a warning that states Invalid number because "Product A" is
not a number. Similarly, If you try to import numbers into a list-formatted roperty, you
will get a similar warning: Invalid list member. It is important to click on the Details
tab to find out more information about the error. Either return to the Properties tab
for the list and adjust the format of the roperty to match the data it should contain, or
correct the format of the source data that maps to the property. Ensure they match.
6. Importing errors - Numbered List Name means: This problem occurs if you try
to map source data for names of the list items of a numbered list. This error will stop
you from proceeding with the import, so you won't even get to the Import Completed
screen.
7. What is "Treatment of duplicated identifiers in source " choice for?: With this
choice, you are instructing Anaplan what to do when there are duplicate names in
the source data. (when importing)
8. What "Treatment of duplicated identifiers in source " option will you choose
if you are expecting every item in the source file to have a unique name?: "Re-
ject entire import" so that you can correct the data before you populate the list with
the import.
9. What "Treatment of duplicated identifiers in source " option will you choose
if you are trying to extract unique list members from a broader list that you
