This allows mine action personnel without IMSMA access to collect data in a format that can be entered into the system. The XLS Import feature also aids in data migration activities. {| style="border:2px solid lightgray; float:center; margin:10px;"|align="left" style="padding: 5px 10px 5px 10px"|[[Image:bulb2.png|25px|Represents a tip or {note for using IMSMA.]]|align="left" style="padding: 5px 10px 5px 10px"| Before you can import data in XLS format, system administrators must set up mapping files that specify Find information on how the data fields contained in the XLS files are be mapped to the data fields in IMSMA, the import order, import logic, and business rules, and any data normalization required for import. To import auxiliary data or field report data in an XLS-file format, you must have the ''XLS Import'' permission.|} <p>To import auxiliary data or field report geospatial data using an XLS file:</p> <ol><li>From the File menu, select '''Import'''.</li><li>From the Export menu, select XLS File.</li>:The XLS Import window displays (from [[:Image:XLSImport.pngImport Geospatial Data from Excel|XLS Import windowExcel]]). and [[Image:XLSImport.png|centerImport Geospatial Data from Shapefile|''XLS Import window''shapefile]]<div align="center">''XLS Import window''</div> <li>Click the '''Browse''' button next to the Import Ordering File field.</li>:The Open window displays.<li>From the Open window:</li><ol type="Task, Auxiliary data or to a"><li>Navigate to the directory where the file that you would like to import is located.</li><li>Select the file name.</li><li>Click the '''Open''' button.</li>:In the XLS Import window, the location of the XLS file is displayed in the Processing Directory section of the window.
