Data Import Objects

Data import objects are business entities, such as competitors, partners, or resource teams that can be imported into the registry. You select the business entity or data import object when creating a data import batch.

Data import process

The data import batch process changes depending on the import object selected. The following sets of business objects have the same import process flow:

1. Customer, reference, competitor, and custom party: You can check for duplicates, or deduplicate the batch, before importing the batch. You can deduplicate within the import batch as well as between the import batch and the registry.

2. Employee resource, resource team, partner, and partner contact: You can't deduplicate within the import batch or registry data.

When creating the data import batch, you can:

• Preview data before it's import.

• Specify if addresses will be cleansed before import.

• Set how many errors are allowed before the import is terminated.
