The left grid contains all endpoints from the OpeAPI spec file, which were not excluded by the filters in the previous step. You can double click on an endpoint or use the arrows to move them to the right grid which includes the selected endpoints. You can also change the operation type of POST/PUT/PATCH endpoints in the right grid.

8- Map OpenAPI data type and format to SSIS data type or a field template as mention in screen shot 1.7 and click on Next Button

NOTE: In this step, you can tweak the mapping between each pair of OpenAPI data type and format to a corresponding SSIS data type or a template field. If you find out that you need introduce new template fields, you will need to do it manually in the REST Configuration Editor and then restart the wizard.

9- Organize your endpoints in resources as mention in screen shot 1.8 and click on Finish Button

Screen Shot 1.8
NOTE: The selected endpoints will be automatically grouped by resources by the wizard, but you can edit the resource names and thus change the suggested grouping. Generally, endpoints that model a single entity are recommended to be grouped in a single resource for easier management of their related fields.

10- Upon clicking "Finish", if there are existing resources with coinciding names, you will be asked whether to replace them or skip them as mention in screen shot 1.9

After a summary of the operation, results gets displayed, you can inspect and if necessary further customize the newly created entities (resources, fields, endpoints, parameters) in the REST Configuration Editor.
NOTE: The OpenAPI import won't import any information about authentication logic, paging logic (for GET endpoints), and custom fields processing logic.
