Import

Overview

Classification Manager includes several import types, implemented for various business objects, which allow introducing external data into the database with the help of different file formats. These files are structured according to rules defined in the individual file format specifications corresponding to each import type.

Classification Manager allows users with appropriate rights to organize these imports.

Details on how a File Format Specification is structured and how it needs to be prepared are on page File Format Specifications.

Further details on the graphical user interface are on page Graphical User Interface and Basic Functions.
