Importing records into iMIS

The method ASI supports for importing records into iMIS 15 is the Import Utility (known as the NRDS Importer), which imports Name, Name_Address and user-defined tables only into iMIS. This process applies to importing records into version 15.0.3.1871 and higher.

Caution! To protect data integrity, never use the Import Utility without also using DB Repair, to synchronize the associated .NET tables.
