FileMaker Pro Import Data Filter | FileMaker, Inc. | Data Files |
The IMP ( .imp) file extension is a data import filter used in FileMaker Pro. It allows the user to import specific types of information from other databases or sources into FileMaker Pro, allowing it to be used in FileMaker Pro. This includes database tables, spreadsheets, text files, and other data formats that can be imported. The import process utilizes the FileMaker Pro importer data filter control dialog box, where users can select which file extension they want to use for importing, and also browse for the right file or specify a location.
Data Filter Options
The IMP file extension is associated with a set of data filtering options available in FileMaker Pro to help users determine what data they need to import. The options available for filtering include selecting the type of data, configuring advanced settings for how the data should be filtered, setting up mapping rules that determine how columns of data will be matched up when importing, and selecting which fields should be included in the imported data. All of these features are accessible through the FileMaker Pro importer control dialog box and can be used to customize the import process and ensure that only the data needed is being brought into FileMaker Pro.
Similar Formats
The IMP file extension can also be used to convert to several different formats such as .csv, .txt, .xlsx, and .htm. The FileMaker Pro importer control dialog box provides easy-to-use options for converting from one format to another, allowing users to quickly and easily move their data from one format to another when needed.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .IMP) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .IMP extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .IMP file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .IMP extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .IMP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .IMP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .IMP file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .IMP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .IMP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .IMP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
