Properties are used to define the data name and type of imported customer records. Users with property rights can manage properties.
Property name is the identification field for RiMANGGIS to match the imported customerrecords with system data. For example, the imported Excel file of customer records has a information column named as ‘age group’, users can create a property ‘age group’. After the property is set, RiMANGGIS will automatically match the imported data in ‘age group’ column and synchronize the data into system
