What will happen if the source file for a Data Import contains a row missing...

The Data Import tool is designed for strict adherence to application business rules. According to the Archer Administration II curriculum, required fields are mandatory for the creation of any record. If a source file contains even a single row that is missing data for a "Required" field, the validation engine will trigger an error.

Unlike the Data Feed Manager , which can be configured to "Skip" errors and continue, a standard Data Import is an "all or nothing" operation by default when it encounters critical structural failures like missing required data. The import process will stop, and no records from that file will be committed to the database. This ensures that the application does not end up with "broken" records that bypass the logic intended by the administrator. To fix this, the administrator must either populate the missing data in the source file or temporarily make the field "Not Required" in the application builder before re-attempting the import.
