In the "Start import from" you have to enter the date in the following format (yyyy-mm-dd). The date describes the point in time from which the data will be imported, that is to say if you enter 2016-01-01 then all data that has been created from 2016-01-01 and onward will be imported, data created before 2016-01-01 will not be imported.

| This date cannot be moved to an older date once data has been imported. To move the date back to an older date you will have to delete the cube and re-import the data. |
If you do not enter a date, data from 365 days ago will be imported by default.
From the "Regular import frequency" drop down menu you have to select the frequency with which you would like to import your data. Take into account that REST API will import all the data that is from the amount of days in the past from today specified by the "batch_days" parameter in the past. That is, if batch_days = 5 REST_API will import all the data created in the last 5. If batch days is not specified then REST API will by default import data created in the last 10 days.

Once you are done with selecting everything you wish to import press the "Import" button and the import will begin. Importing with REST API does not upload any source files into the "Source files" section of flex.bi.
