When to use this feature
This article shows you how to add more data records into an existing project. This is typically needed if you are being provided with data incrementally and you need to append new records as they arrive.
This is not the same as:
- wave-based studies where data is loaded into separate waves over a longer period of time. For wave studies, please refer to this additional article Import Features - Data for Wave Studies.
- when you re-import files to overwrite data records or append additional data to existing records, described here
How to use this feature
Watch this video guide, which explains the different formats of data that you can import to add records and the steps to take to import your additional data records. Ensure you understand clearly the Overwriting Existing Data options before choosing them at the step shown in this guide.
Each of the steps and options covered in this video has a tooltip that is shown in the software itself and listed in the Data Import Wizard Options Explained. You can also find out more about the import settings that you can change at company level in this guide: Data Import Company Settings.
