Import object

To import files from Box into the Datacap system, configure settings on the Import object and call the Download action to initiate the import process.

Important: If any concurrently running threads might be using the same Box source folder, your Box-related tasks cannot be run in a multi-threaded configuration. Instead, use single-threaded tasks only. For information about configuring threads in Rulerunner, see Rulerunner thread configuration. For information about the Box source folder, see SourceFolder.
