Edit Subscriber Importer
- To access the importer definition wizard for a dataset or subscriber importer, go to the subscriber importers list of the desired subscriber dataset or list and locate the desired importer. Then click the Edit link in the top right corner of the importer box.
- To create a new subscriber importer, select the desired dataset in the Subscriber Datasets subtree and select Edit -> Subscriber Import -> Create New Subscriber Importer from the menu (or go via the right-click menu of the dataset node in the explorer tree).
- To create a new subscriber importer, select the desired list in the "Lists" subtree of its parent dataset and select Edit -> Subscriber Import -> Create New Subscriber Importer from the menu (or go via the right-click menu of the list node in the explorer tree).
The Edit Importer wizard lets you define, name and save a subscriber importer. This importer contains import modifications that will be performed on the list and/or dataset subscribers in a reusable fashion, so that the same modification can easily be applied several times.
If you do not want to create and save an importer but only want to make a one-time modification via upload, use the Modify by Import wizard instead.
The wizard has eight pages: General, Type, Type Details, Source, Parse Details, Map Fields, Mapping Details, and Summary.
The top row of the wizard displays links to these eight pages. The page that is currently open is marked with a highlighted background color. Depending on the choices made on some of the wizard pages, other pages may become disabled or may be shown in different versions. If a wizard page is disabled, then it means that this page is not necessary with the current choices and can safely be ignored.
General Page: Name and Description
This screen lets you input a name and description for the importer, for easier identification in the list of importers at a later time. The name is mandatory; the description is optional.
It is recommended that you supply both a meaningful name and description so that anyone working with the subscriber dataset or list will know the details of an importer when it appears in the importers list.
