You can manually run an import to immediately import data.

Before you begin

Role required: admin

Procedure

  1. From a Transform Map, click Transform.

    When the import completes, you see a link to go to the target table containing your imported records. The amount of time that it takes to run an import varies depending on the number of records you import. It might take as long as several hours for very large import operations (tens of thousands of records).

  2. (Optional) Click View the imported data to see the loaded import set table.
  3. (Optional) Click Create transform map to create a new transform map to transform the data in the import set table to its target table.
  4. (Optional) Click Run import to execute an existing transform map for the loaded data.

Result

Three things to note at this point:
  • The spreadsheet is imported, and a new table is created to hold the data.
  • Within that table, the imported records are designated with their own Set value.
  • A new module is created in the System Import Sets application for the new table.
