Validation

Once the import task is run, PIMInto will validate the import data with the import engine and attribute configuration for your specific PIM and the selected View. A data analysis will be performed and presented.  If PIMInto import engine is confused or unable to map fields properly then you will have the option of selecting different destination fields, not importing specific attributes or canceling the import entirely.
