We recommend to import the following data before importing Passwords into RangerMSP:

1. Import Accounts - when importing Passwords they will be linked to existing Account if it was recognized based on one of the following Account fields: File As, Account # (Number), internal Record ID. In case Account does not exist or could not be found or if there are duplicate Account records - the password record will not be imported.
2. Import Secondary Contacts - when importing Passwords they will be linked to existing Secondary Contact, otherwise the password record will not be imported.
3. Import Assets - when importing Passwords they will be linked to existing Asset if it was recognized based on Asset Code or internal Record ID. In case Assets does not exist -the new password record will not be improted.
