Resolution

Personal Information contains employee records which does not increment within a portlet.

Basically, Personal information such as date of birth, citizenship etc. only has one data, while the Trend Information and Background Information contains elements, fields or data that could increment or be appended to an existing record within the portlet.

This is the reason why the  "Import by incrementally adding data" is available only and can be selected for Trend and Background information.
