In Step 4 of the Data Import Routine, you will associate your data set with information required to complete the import. You will map your data to one or potentially many Levels, set the date and time if still required, and optionally enter collection information and check the data against a standard, or flag your data. You can also save your import template for future use.

Map your Levels

Select the appropriate Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 from the drop-down boxes, as required.

If you have not already set these Levels up, you may type a name directly into the blank field. In this case, you will be asked to confirm that you wish to add the new Level 1, Level 2, Level 3. Click Yes.

Assign Time or Date values

The fields marked Date, Time and Increment are only used if you have not mapped your Date and Time values in Step 2. In this case, you can use this section of the dialogue box to set a default level 4 Date and Start Time together with the increment at which the time values will be added for each imported data record.

Add Collection Information

If you wish to add Collection information, click the drop-down boxes for Person and Equipment to make a selection. The recording of collection information is optional in DataSight.

Perform a Standard Check

To check your data against a predefined Standard prior to committing your data to the database, select the appropriate standard from the drop-down box as required.

Flag Data

To flag your data, select the appropriate flag from the drop-down box as required.

To lock the data after it has been imported, select the Lock Data on Import option.

Once you have selected the required fields, click Next. Otherwise, you can click Back to make any necessary changes. You can also save your selection as an Import Template to pre-fill fields for similar imports (See Import Templates for more details).
