How to merge stories during the import process
While importing stories with tagged contacts you can merge the imported spreadsheet rows into existing stories on Makerble if you have a Unique Story Identifier. This might be used when you have the following scenario:
You have a list of events and you are importing a story for each event that contains the event name, location, information about the event etc. That will be imported as a stories with anonymous progress
You have a list of event attendees. Each attendee at each event exists as a separate row.
Using a Unique Story Identifier you can initially import the events and the import the attendees in a way that merges with the original event stories so that on Makerble you have a single story that shows the event details and the details of the attendees at that event
