These are useful for importing other fields for role players, for example telephone numbers or a specialty. To import dimensions for role players, these must already exist in the Master Blueprint and be marked as applying to examiners. Note that dimension categories are case sensitive.
There is no limit on the number of dimension columns. For dimensions that have discrete options, multiple categories can be indicated by delimiting with a semicolon, in the same cell.
For dimensions that are free text, the value of the text is expected in that column.
