DATA IMPORT VALIDATION

To prevent the import of bad data into Dyknow, Import Manager will pause any import that contains errors and/or significant changes. Paused imports must be reviewed by a Dyknow Administrator and either approved for processing into Dyknow or cancelled. 

To learn more about import data validation, read the Validate Paused SIS Imports article.
