Import Behavior: There are 3 options for you to select.
Add/Update: This option allows administrators to add new attributes to the
website. In addition, it also updates attributes if their attribute_codes exist.
Replace: This option allows administrators to add new attributes to the
website. In case attribute _ codes in the import data match with
attribute_codes of existing attributes, these attributes are deleted and new
records are created using the CSV data.
Delete: This option allows administrators to remove attributes in case their
attribute_codes exist.

Validation Strategy: select one option from the drop-down list to
determine how the system operates when there are errors in the im-
port process.
Stop on Error: the system stops importing when there are errors.
Skip error entries: the system skips errors and continues to import.
Allowed Errors Count: This setting allows you to choose the allowed maximum
number of errors when importing. If the number of errors happening in the
import process exceeds that maximum number you fill in this field, the system
will stop importing.
Multiple value separator: Choose a character to separate data in a field
column. In our CSV sample file, the vertical bar ( | ) is set up as the default value.
