When I imported an Excel workbook with SmartImport, the rightmost sheet was imported.
Is this by design?
I need to explain to my customers.
Could you please provide a link to the online documentation where this is clearly stated?

Thank you in advance.

    "Only the active tab of the uploaded worksheet is considered during the data loading process."

    Therefore, if you want to import another sheet other than the current active one, please open the sheet, save the file, and reupload. That will work.
