Go to Custom Import in the Editing Admin View. There is a warning. Below it'yes' should be selected in the Custom Import option and it will load the actual script into these areas that are used by default in these various concepts. (See video.)

Save and compile it. Do a search to see where it appears. [00:11:31](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fau5mZ6naLc&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h11m31s)

The Default Import method is not completely removed when this kind of changes is performed. There is a way that these changes can be done, and have two Import Methods next to each other. It is not that easy but it is possible and it all depends on what is being done in this HTML and PHP view area. [00:11:59](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fau5mZ6naLc&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h11m59s) So it depends on what is done in the view. Currently this is set up to do a normal import as is usually done. Changing this will also change the normal Import concept. That is how to change the Custom Import concept. Please read through the code. Maybe compile it.

I have used this area quite a lot for various applications, because occasionally there is a user that requires of you or a client to import these sets of CSV files , which may consists of 4000 or 40000 lines and only specific values need to be selected. [00:13:06](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fau5mZ6naLc&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h13m06s) In that case this area is definitely what you looking for as it will make it possible to adapt the Import Concept to accommodate those kind of complexity. That is how to change Export values and create Custom Import values for any field view in the back end of your component.
