The final step(s) in the import process is to optionally save the criteria as a template and process the data..
Once the import process starts, the <Import/Export> statistic screen will be displayed showing the import progress.
Notes:
#Updated
The number of contacts updated reflects the total number of contacts records found that match the input data records. In the example screen shown above, an input data file of 91 records was used to update 445 contacts. In this test scenario, the contact folder contained 5 duplicate records for each contact.
#Bypassed
This value represents the number of contacts that could not be read for whatever reason and as a result bypassed for processing. Generally this could occur if a specific contact item is corrupt. A very large number would indicate some kind of underlying problem which should be investigated.
#Failures
This number represents contact items that could not be updated. The most common reason for this to occur is validation criteria that exists for the contact item on any field and the data being imported fails the validation rules. There is no way to programmatically bypass any existing validation rules so if the requirement is that all contacts are imported - then no validation rules should be set.
