Importing
Additional
Data into the
System You are able to import additional data into the application; the data will
integrate with your existing data. Use a delimited text file to import the
data via the standard IntelliTrack import function.
Generating a Comparison Report
Import Compare does not update the database; it compares the values
between the imported file and the existing data. Before you import the
additional data into your application, it is a good idea to generate a com-
parison report between the imported data and the data currently in the
Stockroom database.
To run an import compare report, please refer to the steps that follow.
1. Select Import > Import > Compare option from the ribbon.
2. A dialog box appears that provides information on the compare pro-
cess. Review it; if you want to run an import compare report before
appending your data with the import file, select Yes to continue. (If you
do not want to continue with the import compare process, select No to
close the dialog and exit the import compare process.)
3. The Import Specs Select dialog box appears. Select the import method
from the Import Export Specs field drop-down list that matches your
import file type. (For more information about the import file types,
please refer to
“Import File Type Options” on page 157 .
