Create import batches before loading data into the import interface tables. After a batch is generated, you can use File Load or other loading tools to populate the interface tables. See: Import Overview and Import Batches Overview.

A generated batch initially has no batch status. After data is loaded into the interface tables for this batch, you can activate the batch on the Import Batches page, and then proceed to define the import. See: Managing Import Batches.

This table describes some terms in the pages used for this procedure.
