Disabling a trigger before an import

The Name Table Trigger is a trigger on the Name table that runs every time there is a change to the Name table. The trigger initiates procedures that keep contacts information synchronized.

Disable the Name Table Trigger to enable quicker data imports.

Before importing the Contacts.csv file, you must use the iMIS DB Maintenance Utility tool to disable the Name Table Trigger. This step should be completed immediately prior to running the import.
