Available Destiny Fields

When preparing to use the Patron Import Converter, you You can include any or all of the following fields in your CSV file. It is helpful to share this list with those who will be creating the CSV file, so they can see the available fields and limitations of those fields.

Note: For fields that require specific output (see the Comments in each field for expected values), you can use the Patron Import Converter’s mapping feature. If a field will have a consistent value that can be used to assign another field, you can map those CSV fields to the values Destiny is expecting.
