Modify Import Settings
 
The Modify Import Settings form allows you to update or clear the saved import settings.  This form is only accessible from the Importer form.  The import settings are the entries you make in the Importer form.  By saving the entries, users who import multiple times save time and effort by not having to re-enter the same information.

Clicking this button will save the current entries and the Importer will automatically load then the next time it is opened.  See the list of items that are saved in the table below.

Clear Settings Button
Clicking this button will bring up a dialog box asking for confirmation on whether to proceed to clear the settings.  Clearing the settings will change the saved settings back to their original values but will keep the current entries in the Importer form.
