ECN/UAD/AMS File Imports/Exports/APIs

File Imports and Exports to all systems (UAD, AMS, and ECN), including the APIs, contain two processing fields developed for GDPR compliance: “CanProcess” which is the indicator whether a record can be imported or not, and “LegalBasisDetails” which stores GDPR’s Lawful Basis for Processing.

File Imports
All file imports have two optional fields called “CanProcess” and “LegalBasisDetails.”

CanProcess

• Acceptable values are “True” or “False” (case insensitive meaning any combination of upper/lower case will work)
• If “True,” then the data will be imported
• If “False,” then, if the record already exists, the “CanProcess” will be updated to “False.” If record does not already exist, then the record will not be imported (flagged as skipped “GDPR consent needed”).
• If Empty or if column doesn’t exist in the import file, then a default value of “True” will be assigned to the record and the data will be imported

​Default Can Process for UAD/AMS, if record was Master Suppressed, then Can Process = False. All other records set to Can Process = True. For ECN, if record was Master Suppressed or Channel Master Suppressed, then Can Process = False. All other records set to Can Process = True.

LegalBasisDetails

• Acceptable values are any text, up to 250 characters. This field can be used to store your Lawful Basis for Processing for that particular record.
• If empty/blank or if column doesn’t exist in the import file, then the record will be imported with a blank value.

These new fields are not be available for mapping and the column names in the file much match exactly (no spaces). The column names are case insensitive meaning that “canprocess,” “CanProcess,” or “CANPROCESS” or any combination of upper/lower case will work as long as it is all one word.

​File Exports
All file exports automatically include the two fields: “CanProcess” and “LegalBasisDetails.”
