{{Note| In order to import data in XLS format, scripts files that specify how the data fields contained in the XLS file(s) should be processed e.g. the import order, import logic, reconciliation rules and any error handling must be developed. Contact your [[Information Management Team | GICHD IM advisor]] for help.}}
