Intern:Import

Workflow for the import of data with the 4D client.

single data set

 * First column: Event label as header, followed below by the label as defined in the event table.
 * Next columns may contain the third spatial dimension or time with ID in header line; for options see geocode.
 * The following data columns should contain in the header line
 * the parameters full name as defined in the parameter table followed by a blank and the unit in bracket [] or
 * the parameters short name followed by a blank and the unit in bracket [] or
 * the parameter ID

Ambiguous parameters can be made unique with the unit in brackets attached.

If no reference for certain data sets is given (and not to be expected), use the field Source to define the source of the data. Source is relational to the institution table.

During import, you can set the ID for a new data set. Old data sets can be replaced by new versions, means: after opening the import file, an existing data set can be replaced.

Import of data sets with special characters (öäüß) does not work with Macintosh 4D-clients due to an ODBC driver problem.
