Gateway

Import data from uploaded files​

Use Gateway to import existing data into your company database.

Whether the data is in an industry standard format or entirely custom, Gateway helps you to recreate the data structure in CausewayOne Asset Management and map incoming values to the correct destinations. All imports get validated before being committed, so you can correct any configuration issues before finalising the import.

Before following any import procedure, make sure the files you want to import data from are uploaded to CausewayOne Asset Management.
