# Import data into the audit table

Import external dataset into the audit table to start working with the data in Process Mining.

## Before you begin

-   [Create an audit table](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/now-intelligence/process-mining/create-table.md)

You can import using ServiceNow Integration Hub or any other application. This section describes how to import data using ServiceNow Integration Hub.

Role required: sn\_process\_mining\_admin

**Note:** If an import takes more than 24 hours, it gets automatically cancelled. This is managed by the sn\_po\_extdata.cancel\_job\_after\_seconds system property. For more information, see [Process Mining properties](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/now-intelligence/process-mining/components-installed.md).

## Procedure

1.  Select **Import using Integration Hub**, in the Import Data section.

    \[Omitted image "ext-dataset-3.png"\] Alt text: Import using Integration Hub

    A dialog box appears requesting you to confirm your selection, and reminding that after importing data from Integration Hub, you must come to this page again.

2.  Select **Proceed to Integration Hub**.

    Integration Hub opens in a new tab.

3.  Select **Create new integration**.

4.  On the NEW DATA IMPORT INTEGRATION page fill the fields.

    **Note:** Specify `Process Mining for external data` in the **Application** field.

5.  Select **Save & continue**.

6.  Select and configure your data source.

    1.  Select **File** as a source type from the drop-down list.
    2.  Select either Excel or CSV depending on how your data is stored.

        **Note:** It is good if you have the date formatted as jjjj-mm-dd uu:mm:ss. This reduces the transformation time in Integration Hub. Also, it's recommended that you use a CSV file for ease of import.

7.  You must now map source to target.

    1.  Select **Add a table**.
    2.  Select a target table. This must be the same table that you created.
    3.  Map the target fields with the source fields.
