Import fields
Once you've chosen your import type, you'll need to enter details about it. Here's the description of fields you should see in Insight.
Pre-defined structure and configuration
In the next step, after you've filled in the required fields, Insight will ask you whether you want to create a predefined structure (object type mappings) and configuration (attribute mappings). Details of this will differ depending on the import type.
Here's some details for the Jira users import:
- The predefined structure and configuration will be created based on the JSON file/URL present in the configuration.
- Some object type mappings are disabled by default. Make sure to select the relevant ones.
Import configuration created
You can now view your import configuration, but it's not ready yet. You still need to create or review the object type and attribute mapping, and make sure there are no problems with your import configuration.
When you're ready, go to 2. Create object type and attribute mapping.
