When importing a data file into the CIK Library, you must include a header row in the file that contains specific keywords used by the import process to determine the content of each column. The table below contains all of the keywords you can use for each data field in the CIK Library. Multiple keywords for the same data field are separated by a vertical bar. Only one keyword in each group must be present in the header row. For example, you may use "Entry" or "Company" as the keyword for the Entry Name field. You do not need to use both.

Helpful Hints:
- Keywords can be part of a label in a header row. For example, you can use "Is Voluntary Filer" for the Voluntary Filer column. Provided that additional words inside a label for the header row are not keywords for other data columns, those other words inside a label in the header row will not disrupt the import process. However, you must include the keyword or the data column will not be recognized during import.
