### Import Files

**Navigation**: Console > File Management > Import Files

**Prerequisites**:
- A valid IDaaS account with appropriate permissions
- Files must be in one of the supported formats: CSV, JSON, XML
- File size must not exceed 10 MB

1. Navigate to the **File Management** section in the console  
   - Element: **File Management** (menu) — left navigation panel

2. Click the **Import Files** button to start the import process  
   - Element: **Import Files** (button) — main content area, under the "Actions" section

3. Upload your file using the file picker  
   - Element: **Choose File** (text_input) — upload form  
   - Notes: Only files with .csv, .json, or .xml extensions are accepted.

4. Review the parsed data in the preview tab  
   - Element: **Preview** (tab) — top of the import form  
   - Notes: Verify that columns and values are correctly interpreted. If using Manual Map, adjust field assignments here.

5. Click **Start Import** to submit the job  
   - Element: **Start Import** (button) — bottom-right corner  
   - Notes: The import runs asynchronously. Track progress in Job History. Failed jobs that initiated processing are still billed.

| Parameter | Type | Required | Options/Values | Description |

| Mapping Strategy | radio | No | Auto Map, Manual Map | Determines how fields in the file are matched to system fields. Auto Map uses predefined rules; Manual Map allows custom field assignment. |

## FAQ

Q: Where can I check the status of my import job?  
A: After submission, go to **Job History** (accessible from the File Management page) to view real-time status, success/failure details, and logs.

Q: What happens if I upload a file larger than 10 MB?  
A: The system will reject the upload. You must split large files into chunks under 10 MB each before importing.

Q: Can I change the mapping after starting the import?  
A: No. Mapping must be finalized before clicking **Start Import**. Once submitted, the job runs with the selected configuration.

Q: Are failed imports charged?  
A: Yes, if the system began processing the file (e.g., parsing or validation), the request is billed even if it ultimately fails.

Q: Does the system support Excel (.xlsx) files?  
A: No. Only CSV, JSON, and XML formats are accepted. Convert Excel files to CSV before uploading.
