Import Wizard

Using the Import Wizard, you can create new imports and edit existing imports. Import settings are organized by tab.

Tab	Description
General	Defines the name of the import and other general settings.
Source	Specifies the source of the data to be imported, and how to access it.
Variables	Defines variables to be used in the import, in order to dynamically change certain import settings.
Mapping	Specifies the destination table for the import, and maps the import data to columns in the destination table.
Transforms	Defines transformation statements to be performed on the import data before it is saved to the destination table. Transforms can use SQL or built-in Axiom Software functions.
Execute	Execute the import. You can run the import normally, or you can run it in development mode for testing and troubleshooting purposes. NOTE: It is possible to configure user permissions so that a user has read/write or read-only access to the import utility file, but the user does not have execute permissions for the import. In this case, the Execute tab is hidden.

As you complete the import settings, the Import Wizard performs error checking for missing required settings and invalid settings. If an error is detected, an error message displays in the bottom of the dialog. You can click the link to be taken to the tab that contains the error. Only one error is displayed at a time; once you resolve the current error message, a new message may appear.
