Create a Fast Track Data Append

An Append is the process of uploading a file provided by the customer into Intelidata Express. The file of data provided by the customer is to supplement data provided by the Bureaus. The End User uploads the file to be added to the standard output received from the Bureaus. The data must be formatted as a CSV file. The file is uploaded to Intelidata Express at the time the audience is built.

A "Fast Track" Append is the process of building an append audience with no additional criteria selected.  This provides the user with all of their matched records returned in the final output.
