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

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. [00:12:33](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fau5mZ6naLc&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h12m33s) See how the default import and concepts work and make changes accordingly.
You'd realize that we don't completely remove the default import method when you do this kind of changes.

Then make your changes accordingly. I have used this area quite a lot for various applications, because sometimes you have a user that says to you or a client, I want to import these sets of csv files, and they are like 4000 or 40000 lines and it needs to select only specific values. [00:13:06](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fau5mZ6naLc&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h13m06s) Well in that case this area is definitely what you looking for. You'll be able to adapt your import concept to accommodate those kind of complexity. Well that is how to change export values and create custom import values for any field view in the back end of your component. So literally changing how that button behaves and how that one behaves is what I have just shown you.
