# Imports

You can import records from a file to your collections. To import records you firstly need to create a collection. During the import process, you can map fields inside your file to fields inside your collection so the field names are not important.

Importing requires values inside a file to be in a specific format. Every value should be a valid JSON value. All the errors encountered during the import process are logged and can be viewed after the import process is done.
