This document, when properly filled out will not only import a single line of data that expands to many cables database entries as a backbone but will do the following as well:
•Create global Cable Type and Manufacturer.
•Create global panel data and Manufacturer.
•Create Project SysName data.
•Create Project Location data.
The import tool will perform several checks on the incoming data to ensure that it does not conflict with existing data. Some of these checks include:
•Basic template data check to make sure all required fields are filled in.
•Preflight queries to check against the existing project data. At this point in the import no data has actually been imported. If any errors are found the template row number is returned with error text describing the problem and the import is stopped.
•Post-flight queries to ensure no duplicates were created during the import. If found the error is reported with the opportunity to roll back the import.
