General Import Template File Notes

• Template files are typically generated from their respective Import screen using an 'Export Template' button.
• Using the 'Export Template' button from an updated system will help ensure that you provide the customer with the most up-to-date import file, and will help avoid errors.
• Templates generally (but not in all cases) contain 3 rows of header information.
  • The first row is generally labelled with f1 through f## and is used to give a consistent column id to each data column. Do not remove this row unless instructed.
  • The second row is labelled with the column data/field name. The values in this row are used for the file mapping screen. Editing these values is generally not needed and may make the mapping process difficult.
  • The third row is labelled with the same values from row 2, an is available to create a customer-friendly name for the associated data column.
    • The third row should be removed from the source file prior to importing. It will cause errors since it will be treated as the first import record on the file.
• Import files MUST always be saved as 'Microsoft Excel 5.0/95 Workbook (*.xls)' format (until further notice). The import screens will generate errors if the file type is not correct.

• It is a good idea to perform a Mapping Table Import using a current source list before beginning on any imports. Without a current mapping table, the quality of imports can be compromised.
  • Export a current list from a good source (such as ABIS)
  • Perform a Mapping Table Import on the target system with the XLS file from the step above

User Record Import Notes

The Import User screen creates the User in Adjutant attribute record, links it to the Contact ID, and can complete all of the required fields in the User Details tab and the User Password Settings tab. The import program can even establish user security mimics.

Timing and Preparation

User in Adjutant details and all of the appropriate named user license flags should be set up as soon as possible once the core system setup items have been completed. User licenses are generally billed from the very beginning of the implementation, so customers should be able to access the system as soon as it is available. Setting up user records immediately avoids a situation where customers are being billed for user licenses that they are unable to use.

All Address Book setup items should be completed prior to beginning the Contacts, Customer, and Vendor imports. The Address Book Setup Guide covers all of the Rule Maintenance records that should be completed prior to importing customer, vendor and contact records.

The User Import can be completed immediately after the employee contact records have been imported with the Import Contacts screen, or after they have been added manually. The internal contact records should be added prior to completing the Customer and Vendor imports. User records, resource records, salespersons, account managers, buyers, and project attributes should be established for employee records prior to importing the Organization records so that links to salespersons, account managers, and buyers can be made in the organization import files.

General Notes

Many of the fields on the Import User Records template are mandatory. Required fields are noted below in the file definitions section.

The Password Settings fields must be filled in on the import file. CID password setting defaults are not loaded during the import.

User Record Import File Data Scrubbing

Since nearly all of the data fields in the User Import file are Adjutant security specific fields, the customer will not have a source file to provide for this data. Generally, the only customer-supplied data for this file will be the userids, passwords, and email settings. In many cases the userids and passwords will be generated by ABIS personnel.

Because the data for this file is mostly generated by ABIS personnel to speed up the process of adding users, there is no customer data scrubbing required.

User Import Screen (IMPORTUSER)

Menu Location: Transaction>>Importers/Exporters>>Other>>Import User Records

File Name/Browse: Use the Browse button to locate and select the completed contact import template file (in XLS format)

Export Template: Generates a blank User Import template file

Map Fields: Fields must be mapped prior to importing. If no changes have been made to the column headings, the mapping screen should show all green, and you can click OK to continue. If any of the Input Field Name columns on the left are red, single-click on the line on the left column, and then double-click the desired mapped field in the right column to complete the mapping. Repeat for any red lines on the left that should be mapped. If there are additional columns in the source file that should NOT be mapped, they can be left unmapped (displayed in red). Mandatory fields will require that they be mapped before clicking OK.

Validate to XLS File: Selecting this box will create an XLS errors file listing any rows that would create errors such as invalid data, or duplicate records. If no errors are found in the file, the import will still process and no error file will be generated. Checking the validate box only prevents the import process if errors are encountered.

Contact Import Reconciliation

Reconciling imported data should begin with spot-checking several records field-by-field for complete data import. Pick records from the source file that have the most data columns filled in. Verify that all source file data fields imported correctly and display as expected.

Verify that all phone numbers and phone codes imported as expected. Spot-check several phone1 through phone4 records.

Verify that all records have the expected attributes assigned and that the attribute screens load as expected.

Manually update any attributes as needed.

Contact Import Additional Steps

There are no additional steps needed to complete the Contact import.

Contact Import Database Tables

Importing contact records can affect the following databases:

VCONTACT - Each imported user is assigned a unique CONTID value. This is the keyno. Each CONTID is linked to a CUSTID, which matches the ENTID keyno from the ENT table.

USERID - Nothing gets automatically created in this table from the contact import, but if you edit and save the User in Adjutant screen, it will create a table entry.

RTRESOURCE - Similar to USERID, nothing gets automatically created in this table unless you edit and save the Resource screen.

PCXREF - Each attribute record will also create an entry in this table. The PTABLE value for all of these should be CONTACT, and the TYPE value should match the attribute name from Text1 of the associated attribute rule. The PARENTID and CHILDID values will correspond to CONTIDs from the VCONTACT table.
