File Import

This interface is used to manually import new data files into the system. It is a guided process where a user names the import job, selects a specific processor to handle the data, and uploads the corresponding file. Depending on the processor selected, additional context such as a touchpoint or partner may be required. The page includes tools to download a template for correct formatting, and separate actions to first analyze the file for errors and then process it.
