+Category: Import / File\\
-This transformation loads data from an QlikView QVD file.
+\\
+=====Description=====
-File name should include full or relative path.
+This action loads data or metadata from a Qlik .qvd file.\\
+\\
+=====Action settings=====
+^ Setting  ^ Description  ^
+|Load file<sup>*</sup>|Fully-qualified file name of the Qlik .qvd data file (includes relative or absolute path).|
+|Load only first<sup>*</sup>|Check this option to limit the imported data to the first N rows (and enter or select the number of rows).|
+|Load all columns|This option imports __all__ columns in the file.|
+|Load only selected columns|This option allows you to select which columns to import.  A list of columns found in the .qvd file will be\\ presented for you to select.|
+<sup>*</sup> Setting can be specified using a [[:parameters|parameter]].\\
+\\
+=====Remarks=====
+Floating point values from .qvd files are converted into [[syntax:types|numbers with fixed decimal point]] in EasyMorph.
+This action can import multiple files.  See [[import:fileimportmodes|Importing Multiple Files]] for more information.
+The structure of a QVD file is close to the internal data structure in EasyMorph. Therefore, reading QVD files in EasyMorph is very fast.
+\\
+=====Shortcuts=====
+Fast ways to create the action:
+  * Press the "Add data" menu button. Pick "Import file" or "Import multiple files".
+  * Drag a Qlik file into the application window. Supported file extensions: .qvd
