Importing the Notification File
To import a PRaP RTE Notification file, you will first need to make sure that the file is in .xslx format. Once you have got this, select Imports from the side menu to open the Import List and select Actions > PRaP RTE Notification from the top right corner to begin the import process.
In this window, add your file and select Upload once it has been approved.
The file will then be scanned and matched to your existing participant data. Data found in the file will be sorted into three tabs:
Matched
This tab shows the participants that could be identified by the importer.
If there is an existing milestone for the notification type, then some of the dates or the status in PICS will differ from the dates in the spreadsheet. The milestone in PICS will be updated, provided that the Date Created in the spreadsheet is more recent than the Milestone PRaP Reported date in PICS.
If there isn’t an existing milestone for the notification type, a milestone will be created in PICS using the dates in the spreadsheet.
Unmatched
This tab shows the participants that could not be identified by the importer.
Complete
This tab shows the participants for whom the importer found an existing milestone with the dates and status in PICS matching those in the spreadsheet. No action will be taken for these participants.
Matching Process
In order to match the RTE Notification data to your PICS data, the importer compares the following dates in PICS with the dates in the spreadsheet as follows:
Date 1 (Date Created) → PICS Date 1 (PRaP Reported)
Date 2 (Notification) → PICS Date 2 (PRaP Achieve)
When the importer creates or updates a participant milestone, the dates and status are set as follows:
Status = Completed
PRaP Reported = Date 1 (Date Created)
PRaP Achieve = Date 2 (Notification)
If currently blank, Achieve = Date 2 (Notification)
And if the notification type starts with EARNINGS_REACHED_ the following dates in PICS are also updated:
PRaP Remittance Paid Date = Date 1 (Date Created)
If currently blank, Paid Date = Date 1 (Date Created)
