### View a configuration

You may need to view a data manager configuration to either manually import data or to audit data that has been imported either by another user or scheduled SFTP file import job.

1. Click the `open link` icon beside the service name on the Data Manager Configuration search page.

* This opens the [Import Data page](/documents/administration-company-administration-company-administration-company/administration/data-manager/manual-import.md) for the selected service.

2. Once a file is done processing, its status will change to **Finished**.

   If processing finished with error records, download the error records for review. These are usually in JSON or CSV format, with error reasons attached to each record.
3. Click the `Log` button to view detailed logs related to the service.
4. Use the log to identify any specific failure or irregularity.
