<p class="p">Imports take time. While data is being imported, an Import in progress section is
displayed at the top of the Data importer page. In this section, you can see the
file name, target destination (the object for which you're uploading data), number
of records, errors, and information about how the import is progressing. Admins
receive email notifications when an import is complete.</p>
