- Depending on the element type chosen. Entries will show Section/Entry Type, Categories will show Group, etc.
- Target Site — Which site content should be imported into. Each import targets a single site.
- Strategy — One or more descriptos of how Feed Me reconciles entries in initial and subsequent runs. See import strategy for more information.
- Process — Quickly queue a background import job, without adjusting settings.
