The "Date/Time" history entry for an item shows the date and time when the data import occurred.  Locate imported data using the Find Text dialog to search for the date and/or the time.

Custom Text

(In the Project Import Assistant) Enter a text to be appended to the data generated for an item's "Origin" entry.  Locate this text later on with the Find Text dialog and the option to search in the "Origin" column selected.

Translation Status

(In the Project Import Assistant) Specify a translation status to be set for items that have been translated by the data import.

"Undo" Function

Undoes the last import operation, removing all the data it caused to be imported.
