Add a list of product requirements from an external file
To import requirements, at the main screen:-
● Select: File - Import requirements
or
● Select a file from the Import requirements branch of the File tree
The screen displays the Import requirement dialog (the dialog is only shown with the 'File - Import requirements' option)
● Select the list to import from the drop down 'File' dialog.
The other settings on the dialog give control over the import process. Typically they only need to be set once to match the import requirements process.
The Requirements import parameters describe the format of the external file (Main screen - Parameters - Requirements Import parameters). The format of the file to import (CSV or Excel) is set in the Requirements import parameter file.
Path for Import data - is for information only and is set via: System parameters
Extension for import file - is for information only and is set via: Requirements Import parameters
Ignore NULL variable answers - If this is checked then any NULL values in the file will not be used to blank out variable answers during the import process.
Notes
- Product codes are automatically converted to upper case on import so PROD1 and prod1 are taken to be the same product code
