Question relating to "My Imports" view and the "delete import source file" in model-driven apps

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

I have a question relating to the my imports view (see attached screenshot) where the users can see what they imported. In the my imports view there is a delete option in the top hand ribbon, and under it "Delete import source file". Does this mean that the source file from which I imported is also somehow saved in the systems (dataverse or somewhere else)?

 

Also, is it possible to get this data from somewhere if needed (for example dataverse so that I can see the file name)?

    Usually, the name of the import is the same as the file name, so you can see the file name there.

    If you are referring to the file content, the source file is temporarily stored as the base64 string in the content column of the importfile table until the import process is completed. Once the import file is processed, the value in the content is cleared. So, it is not possible for you to download the source file of the completed jobs.

    However, you may set up a process to backup the source files by creating a cloud flow which triggers on the Imports (importfile) table, grabs the value from the content column and creates a file in one of the SharePoint libraries or something.
