| Values                | The system reads in the value from this column as data value.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            | Options      | Mandatory          |
| Data-types            | The system reads in the value from this column as data type.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             | Options      | Mandatory          |
| Log data object       | <p>This is the data object that stores the error messages from the execution of the database parts: add data record, get data record, update data record, delete data record, and import values. When the log data object is specified, the error message and stack trace of a database part will be stored to the object in case of errors.<br>When used by multiple database parts, the Log data object will store the cumulative list of error messages from the different parts.</p> | Text         | Optional           |
| Reset log data object | When this is checked the system will clear the error messages from the Log data object. Typically, this option should be checked in the first database part of a sequence of database parts.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             | Checkbox     | Optional           |
| Skip on error         | When this is checked the system will skip the execution of subsequent database parts linked to the same Log data object.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 | Checkbox     | Optional           |

## Configuration Options

To correctly use this part, you should have a table that contains three columns which correspond to data value, data path name, data type respectively.

## Example

Download and install these [example project](/release-9/example-gallery/example-projects-for-parts/import-values-example-projects.md)[s](/release-9/example-gallery/example-projects-for-parts/import-values-example-projects.md) into your Designer workspace.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://community-test.logicnets.com/release-9/platform-documentation/process-node-parts/import-values.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
