IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Sometimes Outlook adds a row at the top of the CSV file - you need to make sure the header row is the first row in the file. This includes the row that has the first name and last name). 
• Outlook exports all of your companies and contacts into the same CSV file. When you import, contacts and companies must be imported separately [Contact & Company templates are available here].
• After uploading, your import file will be placed in a queue and processed within a few minutes. You can leave this page and work on other areas during the import.
• Imported contacts are assigned to a group named Unfiled. You must assign your contacts to  the appropriate groups (client, judge, witness, etc.)
