Import via new import definition

You want to import data into Profit, but you do not yet have an import definition. Add a new import definition; it describes the relationship between the data in the import file and the data in Profit. Then perform the import.

Procedure

• Add import definition and import file

  This is the default procedure for adding an import definition and importing the data from an import file.

• Enter separations between fields

  When importing from an ASCII file with fixed lengths you must indicate where the divisions between the fields are.

• Import options for fields

  The fields in an import file cannot always be copied to Profit directly. Usually this is because the fields to be imported have a different layout. Via the import options Profit can convert the fields to the correct layout.

• Configure VB script

  If the data to be imported does not have the correct layout, you can edit it using VB Script.

• Record general data of an import definition

  Set the name of the import definition and a number of general settings.

• Check validity of import definitions

  Perform a technical check on the data to be imported.
