Import relationships from Excel
To import relationships to Jama Connect, use the CSV file you prepared.
Important considerations
The Relationship Import Plugin must be configured and enabled by your admin.
A CSV file must include correct parent and child field values and must have the .csv extension.
Import relationships in small batches. Create each worksheet with fewer than 500 relationships.
Check that your parameters are written correctly and reference the right API ID or field. For more information, see Configure Import Relationships Plugin.

Use the Activity Stream to confirm that the relationships were created in Jama Connect. It is also helpful to use Trace View to verify that expected relationships were created.
