How do I import a Date, Time and Memo data field?
When importing custom data, either participant or action data you might want to populate a date and time or a date, time and memo field. When doing this enter in the date a space and the time in the column on your csv file. If you want to add a memo then it should be followed immediately with a vertical slash "|" and the memo. For example:
To enter a time and date use the format:
2016-04-16 14:22:22
To enter a time, date and memo format:
2016-04-16 14:22:22|example memo
