Importing Data into an Object

Importing Data into a Single Object

While it is preferred that data is entered through the Subscribe-HR Interface, importing of data especially while getting setup can save time and helps make the experience of getting up and running a whole lot more smoother if done right.

There are a few very important steps that should be taken before even considering clicking the import button:

1. Know what area of data you wish to import into, and pay attention to mandatory fields in the Subscribe-HR System.
2. Ensure that the data you are importing is clean.
   By this we mean that each record that is imported should be the correct information. The formatting of date fields, drop down fields, and text fields need to be correct. Mandatory fields must have data available. By taking extra time now to ensure what you are importing is clean will save you time later on.
3. Backup your database.

The correct formatting of fields

It is extremely important that the fields in your import data file are of the correct formatting, if this is not done correctly your data may fail to be imported, or worse it may be imported and cause errors in the Subscribe-HR System.

Knowing what fields I can import data to

There are 2x types of data import available in the Subscribe-HR system.

1. Single Object Import
2. Multiple Object Import
