Data Importer for Common App uses Data Processing Engine (DPE) to transform and save your current Common App data as new or updated records in Education Cloud. The integration tool groups objects into DPE based on the data that they represent. Each DPE has a unique definition, and the DPE definitions must run sequentially to transform and integrate the data.

To learn how to get and use the Data Importer for Common App, see [Education Cloud Common App Data Integration Guide](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jgyiJ6XDBGSKPKS7mlytfbmu6JyoBriInRT-_ujT638/edit).
