The Import location table exchange format button opens the corresponding window:



In the window, fill in all fields according to the instructions below to import a Location Table.


Database file

Here you need to define the database where the Location Table file can be imported to.
Type in a complete file path to or browse for an existing and empty Firebird database (*.fdb) using the Folder button on the right of the text field. The database has to be stored locally (on your physical harddrive, NOT on a network drive or server!).


Source file

If your Location Table file comes as a ZIP-file (file format: *.zip), browse for it on your computer and define it here. If your Location Table consists of a number of DAT-files (file format: *.dat) leave this field blank and use Source directory instead:


Source directory

Browse for and indicate the directory where your Location Table (consisting of a number of files in DAT format) is stored. Those DAT-files have to be saved within one single folder. If your Location Table is a ZIP-file, leave this field empty and fill in the field Source file instead!


And lastly, the function Run semantic checks has to be activated.


Now the wanted data are imported, created and checked. This step may take some seconds.


When finished, due to the activation of the semantic check the codes with errors are shown. To see them directly, Show Only Checks Containing Errors can be clicked.
