Available parameters are described below:
Process directories recursively - if this option is checked, the import procedure recreates the hierarchy of the imported directories and all their sub-directories in the database. Otherwise, only the content of the directories, specified for import, is uploaded to the Destination folder without taking into account any sub-directories.

Import as separate sequences - if this option is selected and an uploaded file contains several sequences, they are represented by distinct sequence objects in the database after the import is done.
Merge into a single sequence - if this option is selected and an uploaded file contains several sequences, they are merged into a single sequence object in the database after the import is done.
Join into alignment - if this option is selected and an uploaded file contains several sequences, they are joined into a multiple sequence alignment object in the database after the import is done.
Create a subfolder for each document - if this option is checked, for each document or object uploaded to the database a new folder is created, having the same name as the file, and the data are placed in the folder. Otherwise, the data are imported into the Destination folder.
