This topic contains information about the legacy Import/Export Manager, which is being phased out from GainSeeker Suite. It is still available for use in version 8.3, but is being replaced by the new Import/Export Data function in the GainSeeker Utility module.

When Importing from an XML file only the fields that are in the file will have default tag maps. As in the illustration above note all fields are in the file being imported.
Mapping the fields.
The fields in the right column are the ones in the import file. The left column are the fields in the GainSeeker database. Mapping allows you to assure that each field receives the value it needs. To change mappings, you may click and drag items from the right column into the left, or right click on an item in the left column which gives the menu illustrated in the picture. If needed you may map any field from the import file to more than one field in the GainSeeker database.
