In the illustration above, the error is listed as FIELD CARDNUM, FIELD NAME NOT DEFINED. This
means that one of the column headers in the Excel spreadsheet is incorrect. Checking the field
names in the appendix, it is learned that the correct field name is CARDSN for Card Serial Number.
Correct this header in Excel and save the file. When the file is imported again, this problem should
be corrected.
Using the Event window to verify each host upload and to trouble shoot whatever caused an error,
assures both accuracy and efficiency in the upload process. Once the cards have been imported,
they should be available for immediate use or modification.
Setting up the Host for Automatic Import
Note: This feature is not available in Topaz.
Sapphire Pro can be configured to import new employee information automatically. This is done by
assigning a network folder where files to be imported can be saved until they are imported into the
system. If the “Automatic Import” feature is enabled, the host system checks the network folder for
any files with the extension ‘.csv’. If a file is found, the host system opens the file, processes each
record and then deletes the file.
Configuring the Site Settings
The Site Settings screen must be set to accept uploads from the host computer. This is done on the
Site Settings screen.
