When you define a column header in Data Validator, you assign it an action. This action indicates what Data Validator will do with the data imported from the related column in the CSV file. The kinds of operations supported varies, depending on whether the column header is mapped to an object, a property, relationship, or relationship property.

The list of actions available for a property or a relationship is determined by the action selected for the object. For more information, see Export mapping actions.
