# Importing a Lawful Interception .CSV File

The list of targets to intercept is provided as a Comma Separated Value (csv) file. Each configured Law Enforcement Agency points to it's own csv file.

\
Lawful Intercept Targets configuration files must be formatted in a csv format. The following columns must be present:

* liid: Text string that uniquely identifies the target to intercept. This ID will be provided with each outgoing call on interception NAP to the Law Enforcement Agency, and in each IRI record uploaded to the FTP/SFTP server.
* number: The phone number of the target to intercept. Any call with this number as the calling, or the called number, will be intercepted.
* start: (optional) Starting date/time from which the interception can take place. Calls made before that date from or to the target will not be intercepted.
* end: (optional) End date/time where this target interception ends. Calls made after that date from or to the target will not be intercepted.

\*\*\* Warning: Column names are case sensitive

Example:

```
 liid,number,start,end
 John Smith,5550001,2012-10-24T00:00:00-05:00,2012-10-24T23:59:59-05:00
 Joe Dalton,14503333007,2012-01-01T00:00:00-05:00,2012-12-31T23:59:59-05:00
```

The format of the date is as follows:

```
 2012-10-24T01:03:08-05:00
```

Generic format:

```
 Year-Month-Day(T)Hour:Minute:Second(timezone)
```

The above example expressed in words is:

```
 October 24th, 2012 time 01am  3 minutes and 8 seconds. In that case, the time-zone of -5 hours is for eastern time.
```
