Complete import details

On the Import Details page of the import wizard, you can specify summary information about the import specification so that you can review it quickly in future. It also gives you the ability to provide some global settings for the import process.

On the Import Details page, you can:

• Add summary details for the specification, such as subject, author, or category information.
• Include custom details, such as codes or classifications that are specific to your organization or investigation.
• Determine whether entities and links are imported to the current chart or a new chart.
• Set whether new chart items are also selected, and whether the selection should add or replace an existing one.
• Choose a layout to apply to the new chart items.
• Place minimum and maximum limits on the number of links between any two entities.
• Enable a "verbose" mode that performs and reports on the import process row-by-row.
• Remove blank entity records and blank link records.
• For a specification that is aligned with an i2 Analyze schema:
  • you can specify the security setting that all imported records receive.
  • you can add source references to records as they are imported to the chart and choose to be prompted to update the values each time you run the import specification.

These features are either not mandatory or they have default settings. If the other pages of the wizard are complete, you can import data with your specification.
