Import Wizard - Getting Started


What is the Import Wizard?
The Import Wizard is for importing an existing database into TCM.

How does it work?
Importing data is not a difficult process as long as you follow the instructions carefully. It will save you time in the long run if you read through the instructions before starting the import procedure so your existing data is imported correctly.

Tip: Try to export the data from your existing application as a CSV (comma separated value) file. Having done this, load the CSV file into a spreadsheet and check to see that all data is consistently laid out with the same type of data in the same column. e.g. make sure that each line of the address is consistently in the same columns.
