The Universal Import is more complicated than other import types but extremely powerful. However, it can be slow to process.
The universal import file format is XML. This means that it supports parent/child relationships in one import.
In general, a series of CSV imports (using flexi header files, or generic imports) will be faster and easier to construct than a universal import. If however, you wish to use the universal import please ask your Equus contact for details.
