Environment

Resolution

To import the comments in candidate profile the csv file that is used for migration should contain two mandatory columns.

  1. Comments -> will contain the comment value.
  2. Commentator -> will contain the username who made the comment.
  3. The CSV file must have comments and commentator columns
firstName middleName lastName address primaryEmail contactEmail resume dateOfBirth comments commentator
John Max Doe AAA jmd@example.com john@example.com resume.docx 1989-07-17T00:00:00 This is a test admin
  1. Once the comments are imported the first row will display user full name and second row display the comment value.

Note: If one of the column is missing while performing the import the import process will fail with either error:

  • Index -1 out of bounds for length
  • primaryEmail : null
