The import summary report shows imports via API or file import from the last 30 days. Only imports to the current list will appear in the report. If your import occurred prior to 30 days in the past, the import history would have been purged and is no longer viewable.
📌 This report is useful to understand the contacts who are being added to your list and how many contacts associated with an import, for example from an in-store event, were already subscribed.
To access the report, in the navigation go to Analytics > General Analytics Import Summary.
