* Give your file(s) a unique name. If you are setting up recurring uploads, it is important to have filenames that you can identify and distinguish later. For example, if your uploads are daily, you can add the date to the filename.
* Choose your compression format, or set the file to uncompressed.

* Select file Properties for your CSV Upload.
  * Column Names: Choose whether to include a Header row with column names at the start of the document.
  * Field Delimiter: Choose the character to separate the fields, use the Comma if unsure.
  * Row Delimiter: Choose how to end a row, you can use "\n\r" if unsure.
  * Wrapper: Choose a character, in which each field value will be wrapped.
  * Escape: This is to ensure that the wrapper character can be distinguished by the same character inside a field. Using double quotations for both, the Wrapper and the Escape character is fairly common.
  * NULL values: Choose what to write when a value is NULL. If left empty, an emplty string is written by default.

* Click Save, and go to Step 4: Frequency Capping.
