A system administrator needs to import 4,500 new Account records along with their associated Contact records from a single CSV file. To maintain data cleanliness, the administrator must prevent creating duplicate Account records during the load by matching existing Accounts by Account Name and Site. Which tool and operation method should the administrator use to achieve this requirement?
- Use the Data Import Wizard to load Accounts and Contacts simultaneously in a single file while setting matching criteria for Accounts by Name and Site.Answer
- BUse Data Loader to perform a single combined insert of Accounts and Contacts with built-in Account Name duplicate checking.
- CUse Data Loader to perform an upsert on Contacts, which automatically creates and deduplicates parent Account records on the fly.
- DUse the Data Import Wizard to run two separate consecutive imports because the wizard cannot process parent and child objects in the same job.
Answer
The administrator should use the Data Import Wizard to load Accounts and Contacts simultaneously in a single file while selecting the option to match Accounts by Name and Site.
The Data Import Wizard is designed for loading up to 50,000 records of supported standard objects (Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Solutions, Campaign Members) and custom objects. A key feature of the Data Import Wizard is its ability to import parent Accounts and child Contacts simultaneously from a single CSV file, while applying built-in duplicate matching rules such as matching Accounts by Account Name and Site.
