If a new contact has several profiles these need to be on a separate excel sheet and the contact is required to have a supporter id if they do not exist in the system so the import can match the contact and profiles. If the contact is already in the system and the serial number is known this should be used instead of the supporter id. The supporter id could be a combination of their name or an alpha numerical number.
If your organisation uses ownercodes for confidentiality these should be entered.
