The File Import Wizard comes as a software feature in BorderConnect and all users will have access to it if they are a registered BorderConnect user. The Import Wizard can be found under the Manage Data menu and by selecting Import Wizard.

Other ways of accessing the Import Wizard and uploading data can be found from the Import button dropdown and selecting Import Wizard from the following pages: Search ACI Shipments, Search ACE Shipments, Search Shipper/Consignee, Search Drivers, Search Passengers, Search Trucks, Search Trailers.

Supported File Types

The Import Wizard supports many common file types when importing data, here are a list of supported file types:

csv
xlsx
xls
xml
numbers

How to Import a File

To start the import process the first step is selecting the data you are importing into BorderConnect. So select the type of data you will be importing and then click Upload a File below or drag the file into the upload a File container.

Part 1: Upload

Part 2: Mapping

Mapping the data is the following step after the file is successfully uploaded. Users can map file headers to to match the corresponding BorderConnect header data set. The Incoming data map shows the field heading of the file that was uploaded and the Destination data map shows the type of data to be added to BorderConnect. The third column, Example, shows an example of the data being imported in BorderConnect, which helps users verify that the correct data fields are matching properly.

The Map page is split into three separate sections:

Completed Mappings: The primary map data to be imported into BorderConnect, where users can review and match the data and verify that the data being uploaded matches the data being imported. In this section users can select the tooltip three dots to either duplicate, ignore or even split the data in the incoming data column. Also, for the Destination column, users can select the dropdown for each destination data set and change it to match the corresponding destination field(s).

Incomplete Mappings: This section provides data that is not yet complete, or doesn't match the proper format to be imported into BorderConnect. It's important to review and resolve incomplete mappings so the data can be properly imported.

Ignore: This section provides data on fields that have been ignored, because the field was marked as ignored by the user during the mapping process. Ignoring data is helpful when data has been previously imported or has been duplicated.
