How to evaluate an import preview

A preview helps catch mapping and scope errors before writing data. A successful preview alone does not prove complete contextual accuracy.

Updated: · 1 min read

How to apply it

Prepare a small representative package in Taskending’s supported JSON format. Inspect records to be created, matched or rejected. Correct identity, status and project mappings before a broad import. Verify an independent backup beforehand.

A concrete example

Include a child issue, a support record with comments, a closed-sprint issue and an attachment reference. Testing only simple title-and-description records hides the difficult parts.

What to watch for

Data can change between preview and application. Version the source package and mapping decisions. Loading more records will not repair a duplicate key or incorrect user match.

How to check the outcome

Compare source and target examples after rehearsal. Verify repeat-run behavior and that intended users can reach the imported context.

Are exports and backups the same?

An export makes data available for another use; a backup supports recovery of the service. One does not guarantee the full scope of the other.

Use team documents alongside issues

When decisions live only in chat, newcomers repeat the same questions. Team documents hold lasting knowledge while issues track actions.

Mobile task tracking and notification expectations

Mobile browser access and a native Android application are different experiences. Wrapping a website in an APK does not by itself provide reliable background notification
