Reaching the Import and Export Options
Importing and exporting asset inventory data adds a flexibility to the Intel-
liTrack Check In-Out system and integrates Check In-Out with accounting
and spreadsheet software.
All of the importing and exporting functions can be reached from the
Import Command Tab > Import and Export Command Set > Import and
Export selections from the ribbon.
Importing Inventory Data
Data import capabilities in IntelliTrack Check In-Out are influenced by
whether the user is running the full version of Microsoft Access or the
runtime version of Microsoft Access.
• The runtime version of Access contains limited import capabilities.
Item definitions can be imported. Site, location, and quantity informa-
tion must be manually assigned. For more information about assigning
this information, please refer to the steps found in
“Edit Existing/Incom-
plete Item Data” on page 129 .
• With a full version of Microsoft Access and familiarity with its import-
ing functions, the user can import a complete, existing inventory data-
base from a wide variety of sources, including spreadsheets and
databases.
Only the runtime Access Import using Import/Append is covered in this
section.
Warning: DO NOT IMPORT data that contains special characters or
quotes with the exception of dashes, dots and spaces. Except for dashes,
dots, and spaces, if your data contains special characters or quotes, the
database will become corrupted. For more information, please refer to
“Precautions When Entering Data” on page 26 .
