Summary
This article details steps to import multiple object types in a single import configuration/file.
Example
Based on a CSV Import file similar to the example below:
Using the single import file, you would like each object to be imported to its relevant object types.
Solution
To import several object types from one CSV, your file must include an extra Type column that identifies each row's object type — the import uses it to route each row to the right object type.
Create the object schema and configure the object types + their attributes.
Add an extra Type attribute to map the object type (required).
On Create Import > Define import structure, disable the Automatically create object types and attributes option.
For each object type, map its attributes, mapping the CSV's object-type data source to the Type attribute.
Set the Filter data source by AQL per object-type mapping so only the matching rows import.
Start the import.
After the import, open each target object type and confirm only its matching rows were created (no cross-type bleed), and no unexpected object types/attributes were auto-created.
