This command creates the link between the property lines in the
drawing and the database. The data can come from an XML file, a TXT or
CSV file, an XLS file, an Access MDB file, or miscellaneous ODBC data
sources.
After choosing which format it is, select the Continue button.
This Access database shows some data entered in for four different properties.
After choosing the source file, this selection window appears
if it is from an Access database. Choose the table the data is stored
in.
There are then four choices on how to join the data. The first is to
empty the existing data set which would delete the property and
ownership line data. The second is to merge the data, using both data
sets. The third option is to append all to the end of the data, and
finally, the last option is to append any new data, and merge the
common data. The next Data Merge table displays all of the available
fields. Notice in this example, there are two Owners and two
Properties. In this case, the Merge option is the way to go.
Choosing Index Field on the first Owner gives the following result.
The data is now merged and ready to be used for reporting and reserve
runs. Any time these property lines are used in reserves, all of this
data is available for reporting. Choose Continue will process the data
and return to the command line.
