Import Structure & Hierarchy
1. Prepare a delimited-text (.csv) file or XML file with your data.
2. You create an import activity, which walks you through a series of
four steps.
3. In the Setup step, you enter information about your file.
4. In the Map Fields step, you map the columns in your file to the
attributes in the interface tables.
5. In the Schedule Import step, you specify if you want the activity
to run immediately or at a time you specify.
6. In the Review and Activate step, you click Activate to run the
activity at the scheduled time.
7. Monitor the status of your import activity. If the activity completes
with errors, then you must correct your data, the attribute
mapping, or both and run the process again.

Implementation Considerations
For data integrity reasons, you cannot add new geography structures or modify existing ones after you import
your geography hierarchy, so before importing you should consider the following:
 Make sure that you include in your geography structures all the possible geography types your applications
may need. Different applications might have different needs. For example, you may want to base some sales
territories on counties even though you do not use counties in your addresses.
 Geography reference information is shared by other applications so you must consider the needs of these
applications as well. For example, financial applications may require you to include geography structures to satisfy
local tax laws. Even if you are not implementing financial applications today, you may do so in the future.
 You may want to review the seeded address styles for the countries you are going to be importing and modify
them as required. The address styles indicate the required elements of a street address or a tax address.
 The source and reliability of the geography data you are about to import.
