  4. Fields to be populated for the import display on the form.
  5. Each section/field is broken down below:
  • Integration Id

  1. This field defaults with the Integration ID entered when the Integration Process was created prior to being exported.
  2. If the field is left with the default text, the Overwrite Existing Integration checkox is displayed.
    1. If the checkbox is marked, the imported integration will overwrite the existing Integration with the same Integration ID.
    2. If the checkbox is not marked, a new Integration will be created with the same ID.
  3. If the IntegrationId field is changed from the default, the Overwrite Existing Integration checkbox will be hidden, and a new Integration will be created with the new IntegrationId.
  • Integration Description

  • Destination Data

  1. Allows the user to select the destination connection.
  2. The connection type will be the same as the type in the imported file. For example:  if the Destination in the import file is a SalesForce connection, the list of available connections to select from will be Salesforce.
