Uploading & Managing Your CSV Data

Which CSV columns MCA Dash needs, how imports merge without duplicates, and how AM Status maps to deal colors.

What CSV format do we accept?

Your MCA broker should provide a CSV with these columns, in any order — we match by name, not position:

  • Deal ID — unique identifier
  • Syndicated Amount — how much you deployed
  • Percentage Paid — 0–100%, how much came back
  • AM Status — performing, lowered payments, legal, etc.

How to import

First time:

  1. Click the Import button in the top header
  2. Select your CSV file from your computer
  3. Wait for it to parse (usually under 5 seconds)
  4. See the success message: "✅ 1,657 deals imported"
  5. Dashboard updates with your deals

Subsequent imports:

  1. Click Import
  2. Select the updated CSV (with new deals)
  3. We merge it with existing data — no duplicates
  4. Dashboard refreshes

How often should I import?

  • Recommended: monthly, on the 28th when you get a new CSV from your broker
  • Minimum: quarterly
  • Ideal: automated with Claude Automation, which pulls the data for you

Understanding AM Status

Your broker's AM Status column determines each deal's color:

  • Performing, Performing – NO UCC → 🟢 Green (healthy)
  • Lowered Payments, Communicating → 🟠 Orange (at risk)
  • Legal, Soft Collections, Pending Legal → 🔴 Red (defaulted)
  • Percentage Paid = 100% → 🔵 Blue (paid off)
If a deal shows the wrong color, check the AM Status value for that Deal ID in your broker's CSV — that value is what drives the classification.
