Session Record Type Files
When you send session data to Insights as part of a batch upload, you send the session data in a file called a record type file.
The following guidelines apply to session record type files:
- Include a header row with field labels
- Include all required fields
- Fields can appear in any order
- Include one row per session
Fields in Session Record Type Files
