Bulk Update/Email Update

1. I am trying to do bulk upload but it is giving me an error message "Header Missing"?

TrakIT only uploads the data present in the first sheet of the document. Make sure you mention the column header and the complete data in the first sheet. Also, check if there is any hidden spreadsheet in the document.

2. Why am I getting 'Out of Sequence' error message while updating data via e-mail, when I have used the correct 'TrakIT Upload Ignore sequence' in the subject line?

Ignore sequence requires minimum Operation role and if you are overwriting the data, then you need Power User role.
