1. Define Requirements

The first thing you must do is define the requirements for your provider.

The following user stories describe how someone responsible for building and managing synchronization processes wants to be able to use text files:

1. I can specify a file to read from so that I can control which data is read.
2. I can specify whether or not the file contains a header row so that the provider does not impose constraints on the files it can read.
3. I can specify a limit to the number of rows to read from the file so that I can control the data that is read.
4. I can map the value from a column in the file to a field on a Sitecore item so I can populate Sitecore using data from the file.
