# Data Requiring Manual Updates

While you can import most updates via a supported API or by [manually](/v1/docs/importing-your-people-or-positions-list) or [automatically importing a CSV file](/v1/docs/setting-up-automated-csv-imports), the following fields currently require you to enter changes manually.

## Person Data Requiring Manual Updates:

- Assets
- Awards
- Benefits
- Career Ladders
- Dependents
- Direct Deposit
- Documents
- Education*
- Job Definitions
- Job Levels
- Licenses and Certs*
- Lists
- Notes
- Organizations and Communities
- Pay Grades
- Professional Skills
- Publications
- PTO
- Social Links
- Timesheets

** Only customers of our* [*ADP Workforce Now® integration*](/v1/docs/learn-about-our-adp-workforce-now-and-adp-vantage-hcm-integrations) *can import individuals’ education and license/certification data.*

## Position Data Requiring Manual Updates:

- [Funding Source](/v1/docs/managing-funding-sources)

### Notes about data requiring manual updates:

- *The Employee Type field is shared by a person and their position. If a person's employee type is updated, the employee type for their position will be updated automatically. The reverse, however, is not true.*
- *When importing data, file columns mapped to the Employee Type field will update both the person and their position.*
- *Employee types for open positions must be updated manually.*
