Scenario: To view the CSV Import Job Status Page and features of the same.
Solution: To view the Job Status page, go to Setup > Import/Export > Import Tasks > View CSV Import Status.
For each import, the Job Status page includes the following details:
- Date the import was initiated.
- Job name for the import: defaults to <import type> – <CSV file name> – <email address of logged in user>. (Scripted imports can optionally set another name.)
- Current status of the import: Pending, Processing, Completed, or Canceled.
- There is also a less common Retry status. This status occurs when CSV import processing is stopped due to an infrastructure issue. Typically when the issue is resolved, the import should automatically start again from the point of stoppage.
- Percentage of the import that is complete.
- A message indicating the number of records imported of the total number of records in the CSV files (For example, “200 records of 205 imported”).
- (In accounts that support the use of multiple queues for imports:) A queue number indicating the queue (1-5) to which the job has been assigned. (Default is 1; this default can be changed on the Step Two Import Options page of the Import Assistant where we could provide the que numbering.)
- For pending and processing jobs, a Cancel link. (For administrators, this link is available for all pending and processing imports. For other users, this link is available only for their own pending and processing imports.)
- For completed and canceled jobs, a link to a
results.csvfile that includes any records not processed due to errors or cancellation. - The
results.csvfile provides an opportunity to correct errors and rerun the import for the outstanding records. - Note that users with access to the Job Status page can view the status of all import jobs in the company queue, but most users can only access results.csv files for their own import jobs. Only account administrators can access results.csv files for other users’ jobs.
