MicroStrategy ONE
Import Settings
Starting in MicroStrategy ONE (June 2024), you can define import settings such as preferred import type, attribute import form, and rules for column merges to improve your import experience.
When you import new data with a defined setting, that setting will be applied if you use Refresh or Duplicate. You should use a new Import, Edit, or Re-prompt option to import data with new settings.
