 Import of Data

 

You can use EH&S OCC to import phrases and data for specifications from formatted table-based files into the specification database.

You can import data with or without a system connection. When you import data with a system connection (online), EH&S OCC loads the data directly into the specification database. When you import data without a system connection (offline), the program converts the data into a file that has the standard import format for specification data. You can then import this transfer file into the specification database by means of the specification import.

The phrase import is an enhancement to the specification import. EH&S OCC converts data from a table-based file into an import file that has the standard import format for phrases. You can then load this transfer file into phrase management by means of the phrase import.

Prerequisites

  • You have installed the latest version of the program on your local computer.
