On the Elastic FTP Server, you'll see several folders that hold all of your brand's information. This is the exported data from your brand's ERP into Elastic. 





When this data is edited, you can manually push imports into Elastic using the Imports feature. The data listed in the 'Kinds of Imports' section below will match up with the FTP data (this varies by brand.) When you make a change to the FTP, make sure your source (aka ERP) has been edited too or else the FTP site will be over-ridden each time an import is run.

Import Confirmation

Once the import has begun, you will be taken back to the previous screen and the import 'State' will update to 'Running'. When the import is finished running, you will get one of three status updates:
