How to format Document ID and Document type fields in excel spreadsheet while using an import set Issue

Description This article will describe what the proper format of Excel sheet is supposed to be for Document ID and Document type fields while using an import set to import data. These fields are included in tables such as Translated text, Approvals, etc.

Procedure For Document and Document ID type fields, it is important to specify both for the import to work correctly. If one of them is missing, then the import will not be successful.
