If you want to select records before uploading the files then below are the steps to achieve the same:
- To select the records, you first need to select the object from the "Select Object" drop-down list.
- After that, we have 3 "Search Modes" - List View, Search, Advanced Search (SOQL)
- List View - All the List Views for the selected object will be available here. Once you select any list view, all the records in that List View will be selected.
- Search - You can enter the record name or keyword present in your record name, to get the list of records associated with/containing that keyword. You can now select your required record from the displayed list of records.
- Advanced Search (SOQL) - Query the records from the selected object, by entering the required SOQL query and clicking the "Run query" button will display the number of records associated with that query. All the records that are fetched from your query will be selected.
