2. Navigate to **Upload & Map Data** and upload the CSV.
3. Once uploaded, the data appears in a table with all attributes displayed

### Mapping Salary Attributes

1. Select the attributes that define salary (e.g., **Level** and **Country**).
2. Choose the field that updates the salary (e.g., **Salary** field).
3. This ensures that salary values are dynamically populated based on predefined attributes.

### Using Rate Cards in Scenarios

1. Inside a scenario, create a new role.
2. Open **Card Content** and enable **Rate Card**.
3. Select the **Country** and **Level** for the role (or any other fields that you have defined in your upload)
4. The salary auto-populates based on the mapped rate card values, similar to a **VLOOKUP** function.

### Organizing Rate Card Fields

1. You can Group rate card fields (e.g., **Country** and **Level**) for better organization using the Groups functionality in the Fields menu.

Rate cards help enforce structured compensation bands and prevent arbitrary salary inputs across the organization.
