Import Table

Introduction

The Import Table feature empowers users to seamlessly extract tabular data into the U-Rite. This functionality streamlines the process of working with various data sets within U-Rite.

The Import Table process is a simple, four-step procedure. Users must successfully complete each step before advancing to the next. Please note that the NEXT and IMPORT buttons would be unavailable if the current step does not meet the necessary criteria. Ensure that you check the bottom left corner for any notifications for issues that require resolution. Here are the four steps:

Steps

  1. Select Data
    When the user clicks the IMPORT ( Import Table IconImport Table Icon ) button at the top left of the table, the current active Excel worksheet will appear and prompt you to select range. After you select your data, click OK then NEXT to proceed next step.

  2. Configuration
    Depending on the imported data, users can enable the Does data include header option and specify the number of header lines. In cases where the table lacks a header, users can manually define the target header. Additionally, users have the option to treat data as linked values by selecting the Use value as Linked Value checkbox.

  3. Mapping Table
    Once configured, U-Rite will automatically analyze the header and suggest the most suitable header model to import. The first prediction will be pre-selected, while duplicated predictions will not. It is the user's responsibility to review and confirm the headers to import, resolving any conflicts or errors that may arise.

  4. Review and Correct Data

Invalid data will be highlighted in red, and notifications will appear at the bottom left corner of the interface. Users can adjust the method while reviewing the table. Once all necessary adjustments have been made, click the "Import" button to complete the process.

Import Rent Roll
