upload XDM Indyvidual Class data with UI

[Michael_Soprano]

Hi, 

I would like to import sama data through UI dataset. Data would part of XDM Individual Profile Class. However I have got some doubts about required fields:

a) _id - I might generate some random string of length 20?

b) createdByBatchID - if I use API I would be assigned with some batchID. However it is not the same with UI. Should I generate some random string? 

Thanks 

Mike

if you are ingesting into dataset of individual profile schema, then both _id and createdByBatchID are not mandatory. 

_id - its to identify the record uniquely. you can think of something like surrogate key in a data warehouse.

createdByBatchID - you don't need to pass any value for this.

Hi @Michael_Soprano  - These 2 fields are not mandatory and can be ignored when you are using individual profile schema.

_id is mandatory for Experience event schema because it uniquely identifies the event. 

Thanks,
