Configuring import
Users can use the Content Manager Explorer GUI or the API to import CSV files containing Contacts or Keywords. GUI uploads end up in the standard upload location specified in the Content Manager Explorer configuration. API uploads end up in a target location that you specify in the <Import> section of the Audience Manager configuration file, OutboundEmail.xml. You can set this location to the same location as the standard GUI location. If your users use Content Manager Explorer to upload a lot of Contacts or large files, also configure the upload limit of the Content Manager Explorer Web site.
