### Class
Define the Pimcore data object class of the imported data.

### Element Loading
Define a strategy the importer should use for looking for existing Pimcore data objects in order
to update them instead of creating new data objects.

Following strategies are available: 

#### Loading Strategy: `No Loading`
Does not look for any existing Pimcore data objects. Import always creates new data objects. 

#### Loading Strategy: `Id`
Look for data objects based on their id. 
- **Data Source Index**: Field of import that contains the id to look for. 

#### Loading Strategy: `Path`
Look for data objects based on their full path. 
- **Data Source Index**: Field of import that contains the path to look for. 

#### Loading Strategy: `Attribute`
Look for data objects based on a specific attribute (e.g. Remote Id, EAN, ...). 
- **Data Source Index**: Field of import that contains the attribute value to look for. 
- **Attribute Name**: Attribute of data object to look for. 


### Element Creation 
Define location of new created data objects. 

#### Location Strategy: `Static Path`
Always put new elements to a fixed specific folder. 
- **Path**: Folder where to put new elements to. 

#### Location Strategy: `Find Parent`
Find parent based on a strategy. 
- **Find Strategy**: Strategy find to parent
  - Loading Strategy `Id`: Load based on id. 
  - Loading Strategy `Path`: Load based on full path.
  - Loading Strategy `Attribute`: Load based on data attribute with additional settings:
    - Class: Data object class to look for (can be different one that the imported data object class)
    - Attribute Name: Attribute of data object to look for. 
- **Data Source Index**: Field of import that contains the value to look for.
- **Fallback Path**: Folder to use if parent cannot be found. 


### Element Location Update
Define location updates of data objects. The importer applies the location update strategy to all imported data objects -
no matter if they are updated or created. 

For details on the strategies see Element Creation above. In addition, there is a `No Change` strategy that does not change
the location of elements at all. 


### Element Publishing
Define a strategy to set the published state of data object during import. 

Following strategies are available: 
- **Always Publish**: Always publishes new created or updated data objects.
- **Attribute Based**: Set publish state based on a field of the import data.
- **No Change, Publish New**: Do not change existing data objects and set new data objects to `published`.
- **No Change, Unpublish New**: Do not change existing data objects and set new data objects to `unpublished`.
