 * As long as the field names match and the type of data matches, you can import
   your CSV and the data will go into those fields.
 * If you don’t know how the data should be formatted, create a test record in the
   plugin, then export it as a CSV. You’ll see how the various field types are exported,
   then you can format your CSV like that.

 * In the Manage Database Fields page, each field has a “CSV” checkbox. This should
   be checked if you want to export the field in your CSV.
