What each job records
Section titled “What each job records”Each file import job is logged with its file, mapping profile, live status, row counts, and any errors, so you can monitor progress and troubleshoot failures without re-running the import.

| Profile | The import profile used, if any |
| Status | Current stage of the import |

Each job also reports progress percentage, duration, and success rate. A job still running after an hour is flagged as stuck so you can retry it.
