Field	Description
Import Scheduling	Select when Touchstone should import the data. Import/Execute immediately Schedule on If you select Schedule on, you must also choose the desired date and time for the job. This field is not available for geospatial analyses.
Priority	Select the job schedule priority for this import: Low Normal High Top Priority
Number of Cores	Select the minimum and maximum number of cores that Touchstone should use to perform this import, based on the following criteria: Each setting (minimum and maximum) must be greater than `0`. Each setting must be less than or equal to the total number of cores available in your Touchstone system configuration. The minimum number of cores must be less than or equal to the maximum number of cores. The maximum number of cores must be greater than or equal to the minimum number of cores. For more information, see Guidelines to Specifying the Number of Cores.
If Locations Have Non-Zero Geocode Data	Select how Touchstone should handle user-supplied and premium latitude and longitude values in your data files: Preserve user-supplied and premium latitudes and longitudes Preserve premium geocoding latitudes and longitudes Overwrite user-supplied and premium latitudes and longitudes By default, ImportExpress geocodes non-geocoded locations. For more information, see Using Geocoding in Touchstone on the Client Portal
Geocoder	Select the geocoding tool that Touchstone should use during the import: Touchstone Geocoder (default) Premium International Geocoding (Optional Licensing)
Offshore IED Platform Validation	Select how Touchstone should validate and fill in missing information or correct values for offshore platforms (a type of exposure that is different from typical buildings). Touchstone validates the exposure data against an Offshore Industry Exposure Database (IED).
Log Statistic Currency and Rate	Select the currency for Touchstone to use for import log statistics. For example, if your import files contain exposure data in different currencies, Touchstone uses this setting to convert all relevant import log statistics to the same currency. This setting does not affect the currencies that you have included in your imported exposure data. The Rate field is read-only and indicates the default exchange rate table that the administrator has specified to convert the summary statistics to the common currency that Touchstone uses in the import log statistics.
Convert Earthquake as Earthquake Fire	Select whether Touchstone should convert the earthquake peril in your source EDM database to the Touchstone Earthquake Fire peril. Clear this check box if you do not want Touchstone to convert the earthquake peril.
Convert Year Built To Year Upgraded	Select whether Touchstone should convert year built data in your source EDM database to year upgraded data in the Touchstone database. Clear this check box if you do not want Touchstone to convert year built data in your source EDM database to year upgraded data in the Touchstone database.
Inception Date	[Optional] Specify an inception date by which to limit the EDM data import. If you want Touchstone to convert only contracts and locations that fall within a specific date range, select the desired inception date in this field and then select the desired expiration date in the Expiration Date field. Alternatively, leave this field blank. For inception and expiration dates, and other in-force dates, you must specify a date value between 01/01/1970 and 12/31/2038, inclusive, for dates based on U.S. regional settings. If you are not using U.S. regional settings, use a date value other than 01/01/1970, such as 01/01/1990.
Expiration Date	[Optional] Specify an expiration date by which to limit the EDM data import. If you want Touchstone to convert only contracts and locations that fall within a specific date range, select the desired expiration date in this field and select the desired inception date in the Inception Date field.

For inception and expiration dates, and other in-force dates, you must specify a date value between 01/01/1970 and 12/31/2038, inclusive, for dates based on U.S. regional settings. If you are not using U.S. regional settings, use a date value other than 01/01/1970, such as 01/01/1990.
