# Data Import Setup
The Data Import Setup feature allows you to configure fields for importing data from Excel and specify whether to perform an Insert or Upsert operation. You can choose to either insert new records or update existing records while adding new ones (Upsert). This functionality streamlines the process of adding large datasets efficiently.
