Hi All,

Am I able to create multiple “Person Imports” to update the person card? I would like to have an import created that links to Entra and then have a 2nd Import that updates other information in the Person card? 

Thanks

Caroline

Hi Caroline,

Yes this is possible!
Some things to keep track of to ensure everything works:

  • Use a unique matching field (such as Employee ID or Network Login) so that both imports update the same person
  • Try to avoid overlap in fields: ideally, have both imports manage different fields
    • If two imports populate the same field: The import that runs last will overwrite the value, so timing is important!
  • Coordinate the import order and make sure there's ample time between running the imports, if there are dependencies between data
  • Check the import settings for empty values (blanks). Prevent a second import from unintentionally deleting existing data.

If you test with a few users first before running the import for everyone and can check if data remains consistent and everything works, you should be fine!
