I'm a newbie at TMS and trying to figure out what the options for importing/exporting data to/from TMS are. In the case of objects, it appears that there is only one list view named "ExportForImport" that is meant to be used for this purpose. I have a number of spreadsheets in Excel / csv format that do not exactly match the fields that are provided in the ExportForImport list view. Is there a way to get all or most of my data from the csv files into TMS? If so, how is this done? Do I need to create a special kind of list view, edit the existing list view or perhaps import the records directly in the the SQL database?

Thanks for any and all guidance you can provide.
