Explanation
The Data Import Wizard is limited in the standard objects it supports for importing, and Opportunities is one of the standard objects it does not support for direct import, making Data Loader the preferred tool.
Common mistakes.
- A. Data Loader is a desktop application that runs locally, not from the browser, while the Data Import Wizard is browser-based.
- C. Both Data Loader and Data Import Wizard can relate records to existing parent records if the correct foreign key (like Account ID) is provided in the import file, it's not an automatic feature unique to Data Loader.
- D. The Data Import Wizard can import up to 50,000 records, so 500 records is well within its capacity if Opportunities were a supported object.
