Import
The import page loads rows from a CSV file into a target profile and table. It is opened from the admin panel’s Import action, which pre-fills the target from your selected profile and table(s).
Fields
Section titled “Fields”| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| CSV path | Path to the file to import |
| Target profile | Where rows are written (pre-filled from the panel) |
| Target table | Which table(s) receive the rows; multiple tables are comma-separated |
Buttons
Section titled “Buttons”| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Preview | Parses the CSV, validates the header, and shows a small preview |
| Export head | Writes a header-only CSV to the output directory so you can prepare data |
| Import | Runs the import |
| Cancel | Returns to the admin panel |
Export head is available when a target profile is set.
Preview
Section titled “Preview”Preview parses the file before any row is written and reports problems up front, including an empty file, a missing header row, or a header that does not match the selected or available tables.
CSV header format
Section titled “CSV header format”An import file carries three header rows:
- the target profile;
- the table names;
- the column headers.
The Export head action produces exactly this shape.
Running the import
Section titled “Running the import”Import writes rows in chunks of 10,000 through the server’s bulk-write path, so scripts, validation, and accounting effects are preserved. The data menu shows progress (status, rows imported, inserted IDs, last source ID, last error).
If an import is interrupted, the client stores its progress so a later run can resume from where it stopped rather than restart.
