Mode	No	This field only appears when the Input Format field is set to One Participant Relationship Format. Select a loading mode: Create Any data load has a chance of collisions. When running in Create mode, the data is loaded in with minimal collision detection. This is the fastest, most efficient way to seed an empty store. See Create Mode Setting for details. Add This mode checks first for duplicate records and ignores them, rather than throwing an error. See Add Mode Setting for details. Update Used to replace a relationship instance with a new one. See Update Mode Setting for details.
Enable Verbose Reporting	No	When selected, a succeeded field and a failed field are reported for each record. When cleared, the report includes details only about records that caused errors. A concise summary of successful loads and loads with given warnings is generated. The report is displayed as part of the Output tab.
