Importing or entering data in to DataSight is the first step in managing your data.

Data input functions are highly configurable and as such allow you to:

• Collect and store data from a variety of sources, such as data loggers, LIMS and manual data entry forms.
• Import XLS, CSV, TXT and a large number of data logger .DAT and other files.
• Import any file and save it to Documents.
• Save an import template, and use DataSight’s auto-import capability to undertake automatic import routines.
• Check data against a standard to identify any exceeding data prior to committing the data to the database.
• Record every modification of the data in the process history, maintaining detail on all alterations that are later undertaken.
• Store raw data files imported into DataSight in Documents. This ensures that no matter what modifications are later applied to the data, the original data remains secure.
• Enter data manually into user-configurable forms. In the Manual Data Entry form you can select the variables required and the order in which they are entered.

Methods of Data Input

You can input data into DataSight using the Import Routine, Manual Data Entry or Automated Import.

You can also input files into DataSight using the Import Routine, via Automated Import or manually from within Documents.

Gauging data is entered from within the Gauging Form.

DataSight also links to DSApp. Using MDE templates, responsive electronic forms can be designed which capture field data on a mobile device.  The data can be downloaded from the device and imported directly into DataSight, either automatically or manually, if required.
