# Guidelines for Prospect Import Field Validation

When working with prospect import field validation, keep these guidelines in mind.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: <span>All Account Engagement Editions</span></td></tr></tbody></table>

- If a prospect’s field value fails to validate, the prospect isn’t imported.
- An import with errors can take longer to finish than an import without errors.
- Import errors are listed in the import error .csv. A link to the file is included in the import confirmation email.
- When reimporting prospects from the import error report, don’t map the error type and error description columns.
- Validation is case-insensitive, but values are stored in the case matching the predefined value.
