When importing data into a lookup table through Panther Console does the new file append or replace existing data?

QUESTION

Panther allows the import of various data into a lookup table. Does importing a new file append or replace the existing data?

ANSWER

Importing different files into the lookup table will replace the previously existing data.

This behavior is intended, because these data are supposed to be "up-to-date" versions of the information, and are not time-based. For example, if the username of a user is "foouser", and then it becomes "boouser", the former has to go.

If you want to maintain the existing data when uploading a new lookup table data file, then any new data should be appended to the file you want to upload, along with the existing ones.
