Export Data (Locations)

Import Data (Locations)

You use this window to import a list of location codes from a Microsoft Excel file that you exported previously.

The import process:

  • Adds lines for locations that do not already exist.
  • Updates values for locations that already exist. (Values from the import file overwrite existing values.)
  • Does not delete locations that exist in the list, but not in the import file. The import process leaves existing lines intact if they do not exist in the import file.

Note: The file format must be valid before you can import the list of location codes into the Edit Locations window. For example, you must use the same columns as the exported values, any rows that you added in Excel must be complete, and the location code must not exceed 50 alphanumeric characters.

To import a list of location codes, you click the [Import] button in the Edit Locations window.

When the import process is complete, the Import Data window displays a [View Log] button. Click the button to view a report of the import details, which includes the number of records processed, updated, and added, as well as a list of any errors encountered during the import.
