This utility can be used to import a file such as a pdf
document, or an external ASCII data file, into a specific table
within Texada SRM.
e.g. A pdf document can be linked to a Groups to be printed with documents as a Safety
Sheet, or a "tab-delimited text file" with a .txt extension can
be used to import Budgeting information in Import Budgets.
When data is being imported using a "tab-delimited text file", a
spreadsheet Template is usually available from the relevant
import function to provide the format required by the table.
When the data is completed in the spreadsheet, it needs to be saved
as a "tab-delimited text file" to give it a *.txt extension and
moved to the server to be ready to import.
Some of the imports include:
* - the utilties marked with an asterisk are maintaince programs for use by Texada Support & Service staff only
This utility can be used to copy the pdf or "tab-delimited text
file" from its source to the server, in preparation for
importing.
A BROWSE button is provided to search for the file on
the local hard drive on the MFC Client, and a CHOOSE
FILE button is provided on an Browser or Open Client
session.
Click ACCEPT or UPLOAD when the file
and its source path are displayed in the File field.
Note: In some tables the application controls how the file is named
and where the file is placed on the server, depending on the
function and table that will be using it.
Error Conditions:
File Size Limitation:
The file cannot exceed a filesize of 50MB.
Date Formatting:
It is the Windows 'short date format' in each session's "Windows
Calendar Settings" which controls how Excel formats the dates when
saving a spreadsheet to a tab-delimited txt file, so this needs to
be configured to match the Date Format defined in the
Company Information for your
firm.
