# EZ File Importer Finish

## Finish

When you select **Finish** on the **EZ File Importer Setup** step, the wizard installs EZ File Importer and shows the **Finish** step: a confirmation page that lists the tables it created.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> The wizard only creates the tables. You still set up your imports and the email notification that runs them; see [EZ File Importer setup](https://help.quickbase.com/quickbase-extensions/docs/en/ez-file-importer-setup-1).

## The confirmation page

The **Finish** step shows, from top to bottom:

1. In bold: *Congratulations, you have successfully installed EZ File Importer in your Quickbase Application!* followed by a link to the EZ File Importer documentation.
2. *The following changes were made to your application:* followed by **Selected Application** (a link to your app) and **Created Tables**. The tables are listed below.

## What the wizard created

The wizard creates five related tables in your app:

| **Table** | **Type** | **What it's for** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Configuration Groups** | Table | The control table. Each group ties import files to the import configurations that process them. Key field: **Configuration Group** (required). Buttons: **Add Import File** and **Add Import Configuration**. |
| **File Imports** | Table, related to Configuration Groups | One record per spreadsheet you import. Key fields: **File** (required), **Related Configuration Group** (required), **Related Key Value**, and the console fields below. The wizard's information screen and some older articles call this table **Import Files**. |
| **Import Configurations** | Table, related to Configuration Groups | How to read a spreadsheet and where to put the data: **Target Table DBID** (required), **Field Mapping Info** (required; *Map_Fields_By_Column_Name* or *Map_Fields_By_Column_Letter*), header, starting and ending rows, sheet number, and the optional search-table settings for updating records. |
| **Field Mappings** | Table, related to Import Configurations | Which spreadsheet column goes to which field: **Column Name/Letter** (required), **Field ID**, and the options **Write A Value?**, **Value To Write**, and **Update Search Table?**. |
| **Import Run Details** | Table, related to File Imports | One record per import run: **Status**, **Notes**, **Records Processed**, **Start Time**, **End Time**, **Run Duration**, and **Sheet Number**. |

### Console fields on File Imports

| **Field** | **Type** | **What it's for** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Import Generation Arguments** | Formula - Text | The console arguments for an import: the app, the file imports table and record, the file field, the import configurations, field mappings, and run details tables, the record's configuration group, and the **configid** of the batch configuration. It ends with *type=ezfileimportermultisheet* (US) or *type=ezfileimportermultisheeteu* (EU), which must match the address in **EZ File Importer Batch Email**. Your email notification sends this field's value to the EZ File Importer address. See [EZ File Importer formula URL parameters](https://help.quickbase.com/quickbase-extensions/docs/en/ez-file-importer-formula-url-parameters). |
| **EZ File Importer Batch Email** | Formula - Email | The address your email notification sends to: *ezfileimportermultisheet@mail.quickbasetools.com*, or *ezfileimportermultisheeteu@mail.quickbasetools.com* for apps in the EU. |

The wizard also creates a batch configuration for your app, of type *ezfileimportermultisheet* (US) or *ezfileimportermultisheeteu* (EU), and adds its **configid** to **Import Generation Arguments**. See [Batch Config Portal overview](https://help.quickbase.com/quickbase-extensions/docs/en/batch-config-portal-overview).

The wizard doesn't create a configuration group, import configurations, field mappings, the email notification, or a button to start an import.
