Before importing a collection, make sure to customize your collection (available for admins only)
1. Go to the collection page
2. Click on the 3 dots and select Customize (available for admins only).
3. In the customization page we can specify which fields will characterize the items in the collection, and will appear later in the import template or item's info page.

Select the columns that will be displayed in the template.
Add Custom Fields
Parent Collection

4. In every section select or add the desired fields.

This will only apply to new entries in the collection, and existing duplicate names will not be removed. The unique definition is not case-sensitive, so 'Name' and 'name' are considered to be the same. Rather, when 'Unique Names Only' is selected, users will be notified when trying to create a new item with an existing name:
Custom Fields - When adding a custom field, you can choose whether this field is required when a new item is added
