Data Import Designer

The RPI Data Import Designer allows you to create and manage Data Imports.

Data imports allow you to load files on an ad hoc basis into the RPI data warehouse, so that the data therein can be used in a tactical capacity. For example, you might wish to load a short list of customers in order to send each one a one-off email. Rather than relying on Redpoint Data Management (RPDM) or another third-party mechanism making such data available, you could use RPI’s Data Import functionality to quickly load the data.

Note that Data Import is not intended as an alternative to the use of full data management processes such as RPDM; rather, it is tool for loading smaller data files for tactical purposes.
