4.Click Continue to advance to the Input Data panel.
5.Choose the Target Layer (the layer that you want the data imported to). All feature layers of the current map are available to choose from.
Alternatively, you can create a new feature class in a database by specifying a Table Name and an Alias Name. In this case, a database must be selected, accepting FGDB and SDE connection files.
If Pick Feature Dataset is enabled, an existing feature dataset must also be selected in the targeted Geodatabase. This has the advantage that the coordinate system is implicitly predefined, requiring no further user inputs.
6.Continue to enter the inputs for the following tabs:
The input fields available in each of these tabs are dependent on the import format.
7.Configure optional settings.
8.Click Start Import.
