Document Import Entries

The ECM document import entries provide an overview of the documents imported from the DMS. Documents are imported as document import entries, Document Import Values, Document Line Import Entries, and Document Line Import Values. These are processed into documents using the processing functions or a job queue.
Information about the processing status and the associated Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central document can be viewed in this overview.
In addition, the FactBox provides an overview of the error messages for the selected record.

When viewing an entry, a page opens that also gives an overview of the Document Import Values and the Document Line Import Entries.
