In this scenario we are going to import new contacts who are not in the system and these contacts will have a communication entry plus they are going to be related to a contact who exists in the system.
The spreadsheet requires a Supporter ID for the new contact so you can use this with the Relationship table.
The IDs for each sheet are:
Contact: Supporter ID
Communications: Comm Supporter ID
Relationship (Parent): Supporter A ID
Relationship (Child): Supporter B ID
The tables used in this import are the Contact Table, Communication Table and Relationship Table.
