# Import-/Export-Facility

## Introduction

The Import/Export Facility (IEF)is used for the import or export of data into or from Agile e6. The data transfer is as a standard realized by ASCII files.
With the IEF functions, it is now possible to configure interface descriptions (layout of data files), file names and the functional integration in Agile e6.

For better and easier handling during the configuration of the IEF functionality, you should have background knowledge in the areas of EDB application and customization with DataView.

The application examples should guide the user, so that the user is able to define complex interface descriptions with the help of IEF.
