When the immediate import is triggered, 'Batch Import Threshold' decides the number of records to be imported as a batch and the status is available to the user on the screen.
-
When a user triggers import in one particular module, the user cannot start another import in the same or any other modules of the CRM.
-
When user X triggers import on a particular module, no other users can trigger import on the same module, whereas they can trigger import on other modules of the CRM.
