The data import experience in the unified interface is a million times better than it ever used to be. I particularly love doing it via excel online - its magic! But if you forget to click on the ‘Track Progress’ button, its a bit of a faff to get back to monitor your data import jobs as you have to go via advanced settings - a place most users should never have to go.

As the interface for data imports is now available in the unified interface - why not add it to the sitemap of your app?

Create a pretty icon (optional but important!)

Add a ‘URL’ subarea to your sitemap

1. Add a sub area to your sitemap

2. Select type URL

3. Use the snippet below

4. Replace the default icon with your pretty data import icon you just created

P.S don’t forget to update the Title too

Save -> Publish -> Admire

Excel online in action

Because the docs link really doesn’t do it justice of the wow factor it offers!
