How does the import csv-function handle double records?

[stevence]

Hey,

I've been looking into migrating to OpenEMM, but I can't figure this out:

we export large sets of data from our systems (event registration, project registration) each with their own fields. So, for instance, the event module would export a field [eventx=1] to indicate person y was at event x.

Suppose this person's email-adress is already registered in the system, how does the import-function handle the aforementioned field? Is it ignored? Or is it added to the records?

The same goes for address-fields. Does the import-function simply overwrite these if they are already present in the system?

It depends: The import profiles you can create for the handling of import files offers all kinds of possibilities. Please have a look at the manual.
