Hello,

Topic: Smart Import
BOARD Version: 12.4

The smart importer tool has been an awesome add, and has already become a staple within my solution.

However, I am still having to make my users adjust data before they use the smart importer tool. In my experience across multiple organizations, placing the time entity across multiple columns is a very typical use case. With the smart importer tool, however, all entities must be placed in a single column.

Would it be possible to map a singular entity to be allowed to go horizontally rather than vertically?

Thanks!

    any news on this enhancement ?

    this is critical, all our users are putting data in columns.

    They are loosing a lot of time in excel / power query to flatten the data
