The values for the ‘Update’ column in an exported excel screen data affects the import of the scraped objects in the screen as follows. User can specify Yes/No values to this column.
If value is set to ‘Yes’, then the new object properties will be updated for the same object (depending on the ‘Object Name’) present in the screen.
If value is set to ‘No’, then a new object is created with the properties provided in the excel sheet with the ‘Object Name’ appended with an underscore followed by an incremented integer.
For example, if Google_Logo is the object name then the newly created object will have its object name as Google_Logo_1.
