TalentED Import Settings

Import Setting	Description
Source Filename	Required setting. The name must be exact; there is no wildcard support. This is the name of the file as it appears in the SFTP folder.
Date Format	This setting is only used if you use a date token that appends a date to the file name. Select the date format for the date token.
Delete Source File	Enable this setting if you want the source file from the SFTP folder deleted after the import is run.
Auto Import	Enable this setting if you want the import job to run automatically at the scheduled time set up in the Sync Environment settings. We recommend disabling this setting until files have been manually validated.
Override Default Email List	Allows you to override the default email list for the import type.
Override Default Start Time	Allows you to override the default start time for the import type. Note that all times in the Data Import tool are Mountain Time.
File Check	Enable this setting if you want an additional email out if an import fails to run due to a missing source file. We recommend enabling this setting when first setting up an import and testing the SFTP connection. You can disable the setting at a later time.
Remote Server Configuration	Ensure the remote server is the SFTP server where your file is located. Make sure the source directory matches the location of your file on the SFTP server.
File Formatting	Choose the delimiter format for your file.
Import-Specific Configuration	Verify the column header names and add or remove optional columns as needed to match your file.
Product Security	This setting is unique to the Staff import type. Enabling this setting allows you to import additional columns to set a user’s security group via import. For more details about this setting, review the FAQ & Troubleshooting documentation.
