Editing a Saved Import

A saved import map that is close to what you need for your import job may be available. You can edit this saved import to run your import job instead of creating a new import map.

To edit a saved import for reuse:

  1. Go to Setup > Import/Export > Saved CSV Imports.

  2. On the Saved CSV Imports page, find the import map that you want to edit, and click its link in the Name column. This action starts the Import Assistant.

  3. In the Import Assistant, make changes to the import as necessary, as described in Step One Scan & Upload File, Step Two Import Options, Step Three File Mapping, and Step Four Field Mapping.

    Note:

    You cannot remove a previously mapped required field from a saved import.

  4. On the Save Mapping & Start Import page, review the Import Map Name.

    • If you want your changes to overwrite the existing saved import map, and to maintain the same name, do not change the name here.

    • If you want to give the import map a different name, edit the name here.

    • If you want to edit the description, edit it here.

    Note:

    If the Multi-Language feature is enabled in your account, a separate page is available to enter translations for the import name and description. If you change the import name or description, translations need to be edited to match the new values. See Translating Import Map Name and Description.

  5. Review the options available under the Save button in the lower right corner of the Import Assistant:

    • If you want your changes to overwrite the existing saved import map, click Save, or click Save & Run.

    • If you want to create an additional import map, click Save As, or click Save As & Run. Be sure to change the name of the import from what it was previously.

  6. You can use SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF) to manage saved CSV import maps as part of file-based customization projects. For information about SDF, see SuiteCloud Development Framework.

    You can use the Copy to Account feature to copy an individual saved CSV import map to another of your accounts. When you open a saved CSV import map in the Import Assistant, a clickable Copy to Account option is available in the upper right corner. For information about Copy to Account, see Copy to Account.
