Record Marker in CSV :

The corresponding record in the CSV file that has to be considered for conversion. This entry is the first text in every new record of the CSV. 

If this value is not specified then all the records would be considered for conversion.

Field Separator :

If you want to exclude headers in the first line of CSV file for conversion, select Exclude First Line Header checkbox.

• If the CSV file has more fields then the XML schema fields , the converter will ignore the additional fields form the CSV
