Employee Field

In the CSV the first column is called employee ID, this setting relates to what you enter in that column, For example if you have used the employee's names in the CSV the employee name option will need to be selected. 

Include archived employees in search?

When using name or Works ID method, sometimes you may have multiple instances of the same employee with on active and one archived - if you set this to NO we will not search archived employees when marching and will only search your active employees. If you had 2 active employees of the same name, for example, this setting would make no difference.
