How do I manually import a data file?

Imports are the individual packages of data that have been imported into the Patrol Management System. This view enables you to see the data from each individual import.

To view all imports, select the View/Imports menu option.(This menu option is only available if the logged in user has the necessary permission in their user profile).

The import grid on the left displays the date, time and record count of each import. Select any import from the list to display the imported data in the detail grid on the right.

Select one of the Checkpoint , Employee , Incident , Unknown or Shock pages from the detail grid to view the respective type of data from the selected import. Use the Data Grid features to group, sort, filter, print and export the data as desired.

The date and time of the current import is displayed at the bottom of the imports page. There is also a Data Navigator to move between imports.

• The Checkpoint page displays all checkpoint events from the selected import. Only checkpoints already in the database will appear in this view.

• The Employee page displays all employee events from the selected import. Only employees already in the database will appear in this view.

• The Incident page displays all incident events from the selected import. Only incidents already in the database will appear in this view.

• The Unknown page displays all unknown events from the selected import. This view displays all unknown events not yet in the database.

You can assign any unknown in the list by right clicking the record, and selecting an option from the menu.

1. Select the Assign as Checkpoint option to insert the unknown as a Checkpoint.
2. Select the Assign as Employee option to insert the unknown as an Employee.
3. Select the Assign as Incident option to insert the unknown as an Incident.

• The Shock page displays all shock encounters from the selected import.
