Body: <p>I want to import a large group of people and some of them have opted out of SMS communications and some have opted out of email communications. I have tried multiple ways of entering the fields in my CSV files and none of them will import properly.  For example, I created a column "Do Not Email" and in the field for those who wanted do not want to receive email I put "YES" and the file imported properly, but the contact record does not say Do Not Email. What is the correct way to add this information?</p>

  Use the number "1" for yes and a blank for no.
  
  One way to see this is if you do an export and then look at how it outputs it.
