Upload Redesign
The Upload section has been completely redesigned, making the upload process much easier. Now you can preview your list, with the formatting options that you select, so that your upload goes as smoothly as possible.
 You can now choose from the most common file formats, or create a custom format to match your file. As you change the options for your file format, a sample selection of your actual list is displayed to help you see what each element of the format does.
Field Mapping allows you to define what each column of your file is as it is uploaded. Samples from your list will be displayed to help you match the information to the right database column. You can even ignore columns if you don't want them to be imported with the rest of the information.
Use Existing Filters to upload lists that you import frequently with the same format. This most closely resembles EMS's previous Upload design. If your file formats do not change, you can save time by using pre-defined filters.
 Additionally, we have added these universal features:
- The IGNORE field allows you to skip columns in your file that you do not want imported. This means little or no time spent pre-processing your file before uploading it.
- Pre-defined file formats for CSV and Tab-separated upload.
- Better error handling. Errors will no longer stop the upload; instead they will be reported at upload completion.
