Computer implemented systems and methods are disclosed for importing data from electronic data files. In accordance with some embodiments, source electronic data files are received at a data importation system and managed by the data importation system. The data importation system may apply detector/transformer plugins to the received source electronic data files to transform the files for importation into one or more data analysis systems and/or databases. The data importation system may also receive user inputs for mapping source electronic data files to transformation templates. The inputs may include, for example, an assignment of a file format to the source electronic data file, identification of a file type identifier associated with the source electronic data file, and a mapping of a the source electronic data file to a transformation template. The data importation system may store the received inputs as a file type profile in a database.
