In this example, the Location Features worksheet had not been filled out, so a warning (highlighted in orange) was reported. Errors are highlighted in yellow.
Image: A missing email address in the Email cell caused an error when creating this new contact. - Correct any reported errors and/or warnings in the Import file and re-validate. Repeat for each file that has errors and/or warnings. See Data Import Tool Errors and Warnings.
Note: You must correct all errors before the Import file(s) can be imported. If you don't correct warnings, the file(s) can still be imported but the data that resulted in the warning won't be imported. For example, in the file example above, if you don't fill out the Location Features worksheet, no location feature data will be imported. - Once all the Import files are free of errors and warnings, click Insert which inserts the locations, contacts, organizations, and/or resources included in the Import files into your Series25 database and reports the number of each object type (records) inserted.
