Importing and Exporting Data

Import period format to Time Periods or Date formatted line items

"Show history" for list items

When clicking a button to run a process that has several actions (20+), there should be a vertical scroll bar for the list of actions so that the UI box does not go off of the screen and a user does not have to scroll to see the Run button.
