🔔 Important!
You will not be able to map any fields until you receive or manually upload a file from Liaison. Be sure to use a file delivered by the CAS API subscription for social security numbers to ensure that all possible data points are included. By default, blank/null values are not sent via CAS API subscriptions, so if you need to adjust remap settings for a particular source field, and you do not see it on the Fields page, you will need to upload this file again.
