Dataverse includes a web application tool called Import Data Wizard. You use this tool to import data records from one or more comma-separated values (.csv), XML Spreadsheet 2003 (.xml), or text files.

Use transformation mapping to modify data before importing it. For example, split a full name that is contained

in the source file into a first name and a last name to match the target columns for a table.

Note:

To implement data import, you typically do the following:

Create a comma-separated values (CSV), XML Spreadsheet 2003 (XMLSS), or text source file.

Create a data map or use an existing data map.
