Consider the following scenarios to know about when the services that you want to import through excel / spreadsheet will be discarded.
Scenario 1: Consider a service, Service 1 which exists in the application. If you are trying to import Service 1 through excel which is of same name, then this service - Service 1 from excel is discarded and appropriate error message is displayed.
Scenario 2: Consider a service with name Service 2 which is added two times in the excel sheet and you try to import the same. In such a case this Service 2 is imported only once.
Scenario 3: Consider a service, Service 1 with two CIs in the CI Linking field – CI 1 and CI 2. In this case, CI 1 is available in the system and CI 2 is not available in the system. Then application will import only CI 1 and will discard CI 2. This is a case of partial discard.
Scenario 4: For a service – Service 2, Consider three customers, Customer 1, Customer 2, and Customer 3. If any one of the customer names are invalid, then entire row is discarded.
