Importing Auxiliary Data to IMSMA
The XLS Import feature allows you to import field report data or auxiliary data (organisations, explosive ordnance, places, and country structure levels) into IMSMA using a Microsoft Excel file. 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.
| Represents a tip or note for using IMSMA Mobile. | Before you can import data in XLS format, system administrators must set up mapping files that specify 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. |
To import auxiliary data or field report data using an XLS file:
- From the File menu, select Import.
- From the Export menu, select XLS File.
- The XLS Import window displays (XLS Import window).
- Click the Browse button next to the Import Ordering File field.
- The Open window displays.
- From the Open window:
- Navigate to the directory where the file that you would like to import is located.
- Select the file name.
- Click the Open button.
- In the XLS Import window, the location of the XLS file is displayed in the Processing Directory section of the window. The location of the import mapping files is displayed in the Import Data Directory section.
- Click the Import button.
- The Import Results window displays with the contents of the migration.log, migration_errors.log, and migration_dataissues.log (XLS/CSV Import Results window). In addition, log files are generated and can be found in the IMSMA_HOME\migration directory.
- Verify that the import was successful, and click the Done button.
