Once all corrections are made, click Submit to complete the import.

The employee job info will now be successfully populated in the system.
πŸ’‘ Tip
Always download the provided Excel template instead of building your own β€” matching column headers means the Match Columns step becomes a formality and imports go through cleanly on the first try.
πŸ“Œ Note
Red cells mean rows are blocked from import. Fix every flagged cell in the online editor before clicking Submit β€” rows with validation errors won't be saved.
