Hello Rupa, use a sql client to import the data right into the database. You don't need any import script, it's pretty straightforward. Sorry, I don't remember the table name, but this was easy to find by looking through the database with a sql gui client (e.g. HeidiSQL for Windows). Please note that I had to experiment first by adding records manually before I found out what columns I needed in my to be imported csv file.

Hello Alxendar
Thanks for that great clue.
I installed the client and found the table (customer_user)
I inserted a column of my choice thru sql client.
But in OTRS under customer database I could not see that cloumn , do I need
to any other changes to show on frontend.
It is seen in the sql client , I also restarted the otrs service.
Thanks

Hello Rupa, to use additional columns you also need to tell OTRS about them. I'm sorry, this exceeds my knowledge, but as a start try chapter 11.2.1 of the admin manual.

Hello Alxendar
Thanks a lot again for the reference in admin manual.
I added the lines in defaults.pm file and was able to see the fields I have
added and deleted all unnecessary fields.
My Customer database has only all the fields which I require
Thanks again
