How to import Lookup Types and Codes using File Based Loader


So, we want to create Lookup Types and Upload Lookup Values but as we have a huge data volume at hand, we want to use some kind of bulk upload method. Let's see how this can be achieved.

- We need to create the import files inclusive of all mandatory and optional columns to import the lookup data. We should use the pipe ‘|’ as delimiter and save it with the .csv file extension.

- Create separate files for Lookup Types and Lookup Codes

- Sample Lookup Type File -

- Sample Lookup Codes File -

- Now, let's upload the files to UCM server

- Navigate to Tools section and click the File Import and Export



- Click the Upload icon in the Search Results section

- Select ‘setup/functionalSetupManger/import’ from the Account drop-down list

- Browse and select the import files


- Click Save and Close

- Search result should look something like this




- Go to Setup and Maintenance

- Search for the 'Manage Standard Lookups' task or the 'Manage Common Lookups' task


- Click Actions and select Import


- Select the Account where you imported the files 'setup/functionalSetupManger/import'

- Provide full name of the files to be imported, including the .csv extension


- Click Upload

- We should see the progress of upload like below


- We can download the log file and it shuold show the summary of the import life below


- Now, we can search of our newly created Lookup Type and it should show us all the details including all the imported Lookup Codes
