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!


Run semantic checks

It is highly recommended that you check this option for every Location Table you import into your database!
Visit the Semantic Checks page to learn more about this function.


To start the data import, click the OK button.


Now your Location Table is imported, the database tables created and the data checked. This may take some seconds.



As soon as this process is completed and in case you ran the import routine including the semantic checks, a list of check statements is shown. Visit the Semantic Checks page now to learn how to proceed.


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.
