If roster headings are formatted incorrectly, what happens?

• A. Roster upload will return an error message
• B. The system automatically corrects headings
• C. The roster will be accepted and used anyway
• D. A warning is shown but upload proceeds

Answer: (A)

When you upload a roster, the system checks that the heading names exactly match what it expects so it can map each column to the correct field (like name, rank, unit, etc.). If the headings are formatted incorrectly, the mapping can’t be done reliably, so the upload is halted and an error message is returned. This protects data integrity by preventing misaligned or missing data from entering the system. The system won’t auto-correct the headings, won’t accept and use the roster as-is, and won’t proceed with a warning; you’ll need to fix the header formatting as indicated by the error and re-upload. To resolve, compare the file’s headers to the required template, correct them, and try again.
