# Considerations for uploading data to ALM

- To upload data to ALM, you must first map ALM fields to the Google Sheets spreadsheet columns. You can manually map ALM fields to spreadsheet columns, or the Google Sheets add-on can map fields automatically. For automatic mapping to succeed, the column headings in your spreadsheet must be identical to the field names in ALM.

- When you upload a new or existing requirement, test, or defect to ALM, it is created with the user name that you use to upload it.

  Example: If you upload a defect to ALM with alex_alm as the user name, the defect’s history shows alex_alm as the person who changed the defect.

- You must have full create and modify permissions in ALM for the type of record that you are uploading.

  Example: If you are uploading tests, you must have permissions for adding and modifying the test plan tree, design steps, and folders.
