HOW-TO: Create an Action for Quick Import Definition
Overview
All Import Definitions, including Quick Import Definitions, are available only for Administrators in Administration application → Integration → Import Definitions navigation item.
At the same time, Quick Import Definitions can be enabled for other employees using another application via Action configuration.
To add a Quick Import Definition to an Application as an Action consider the particularities that are described below.
Before creating an Action, add new or edit existing Quick Import Definition, if necessary.
