# Imports

**Imports** load records into a collection from an uploaded CSV file, with a column-to-field mapping — the fastest way to move existing data into Norbix.

## What you can do here

**Import** starts the [import wizard](/cloud/database/imports/new.md). Each run appears as a row that updates **live** while the import processes: **Initiated On** (links to the [details](/cloud/database/imports/details.md)), **Schema** (links to the target collection's records), **Status**, **Imported / Total**, and **Errors** with a download link for the run's `errors.txt`.

Statuses: `Created`, `Processing`, `Completed`, `Completed with issues` (completed, but some rows failed validation), and `Failed`. A **Delete** action removes a finished import together with its stored CSV and `errors.txt` — a running import cannot be deleted.

Imports store their files in the project's **file storage**, so the Files module with an enabled files integration is required.
