Procedure:
Event Importer allows the client to upload any number of relevant data into the e-RegisterNow database. Use the procedure outlined below.
Procedure:
- Create an Excel spreadsheet containing the new database entries. Each column needs a unique heading – use the event fieldnames, listed at the end. The default value will be stored for the fields that are not listed in the spreadsheet. Some fields need to be in the correct format; also shown below. Use ID for Registration Form and Tax (ID can be looked up in the Import/Export Events page).
- Save the spreadsheet in the Text (Tab Delimited) format.
- Use File Upload, to bring the text file into the M root directory.
- Select from the menu bar, Tools | Import/Export | Import/Export Events. Type the file name that you’ve just uploaded into the textbox. Use the eye icon to view the file. Finally, click on Start Import
The data should now be imported as events. If there are any errors make sure the spreadsheet is properly setup and saved as a tab delimited text file. Listed below are the event fieldnames and formats.
