Run an Existing Import Profile

This page contains the step-by-step instruction links on how to load an existing import profile using the Import Wizard

Overview

If you are planning to import a set of data with the same profile as your last imports, you have the option in Paradigm to use an existing Import Profile that matches your data set requirements. Note that when using a saved Import Profile, you have the responsibility to preserve the structure and format of the profile by making sure that your data source headings and their order are the same as the original Import Profile design.

Adhere to the following guidelines consistently when running an existing profile:

1. Ensure that all fields in the source file maintain a precise order, showing correct structure with headers consistent or matching those of the previously imported file, in all future import attempts.

2. Confirm the presence of all fields from your source file in any subsequent import, with each column heading assigned a value following the same format as the prior successful import.

3. Maintain the integrity of column fields/headers by avoiding any deletion of existing headers from the previously imported file. When entering new information, strictly adhere to the specified format.
