Step 4. Import the Data

Once the selected animals from the session appear in the list click on Import this Data to bring the information into the import screen.

 

Step 5. Match up Fields

You will then need to match up the appropriate fields so that you can bring in the information for the animals into Stockbook.

This section allows you to customise how your data is imported.

As a part of Step 3 on the import you will have to set your import options; to do this you will have to go through the tab headings that are relevant for the file you are bringing in.
General tab
Enter the Default Obs. Date 
This tab gives you the ability to set a default Obs. Date, Obs. Code and Performance Management Group (Default Perf.Mgt.Grp) that will apply to every animal in the file. However, if in your .CSV file you have a column for date or observation code, and you link them in Step 4. then it is not necessary to use the default option.



This tab is also used to set the Date Format and Add New Tags for new animals being imported onto a user list.
It is recommended that if you are importing weight or trait data that you include an observation code (Obs.Code) so that all records will have the same codes unless otherwise specified.
If the Add New Tags box is not ticked and the animal being imported is not on file then an error will be generated and the new tags will not be added to your Stockbook.
Here you need to select the Data Type then the Stockbook Field for the fields that you want to import.
You do not have to import all the fields contained in the Source Name column or CSV File Heading.

Step 1. CSV File Heading 

  1. Choose which CSV File Heading you want to import.
    Either Primary ID/ Visual ID or EID must be selected to enable data to be matched to the correct animal.
  2. Click on the drop down arrow in the Data Type column against the CSV File Heading.


Step 2. Select Data Type.

Select the Data Type from the drop down list.
This example shows Primary ID being linked to Life Data.

Step 3. Select from Stockbook Field

  1. Click on the drop down arrow in Stockbook Field in the same row.
  2. Select the Stockbook Field from the drop down list. This example shows EID being linked to EID.
  3. If the Stockbook Field does not show the correct link, you may have selected the incorrect Data Type.

Step 4. Repeat Steps 1,2 & 3 for each CSV File Heading that you wish to import.

Step 5. Save the Layout

  1. Click on the Save this Layout button.
  2. Enter the Template name.
  3. Click on the OK button.
