The Data Load Wizard enables organizations to upload a list or table of information into the system, eliminating the need to manually insert individual records. Data can be loaded to different parts of the system with a consistent process, allowing you to upload, review, and import data.
The Data Load Wizard can import new records or adjustments and export existing data in multiple file formats (.xls, .xlsx .csv, .txt). Note: Files loaded via the Data Load Wizard cannot contain HTML encoding. Editable templates and helpful hints guides are available for each file type for accurate importing.
Reporting is available to provide information regarding error logs and counts of records that are added or updated.
