The Reports To field enables<strong>OrgPlus</strong> to build a hierarchical chart.6-2 Importing Data


Importing and Exporting DataCHAPTER 6Creating Charts from FilesYou can import a file from any source as long as it meets some minimumrequirements.Use the following guidelines when creating an import file:➣ To prepare your text for importing:1 Create one line in the file for each record in your chart.2 If you are importing from a text file, each field must be separated by a delimiter(a tab, comma, semicolon, space, or other character).• In the following example, each record has four fields, separated by commas.The four fields are Position, Reports To, Name, and Title. Position isused as the unique identifier for each record.1, ,Chris Phillips,President2,1,Lynn Brewer,Chief Financial Officer3,1,Larry Stevens,Vice President3 If you are importing from Excel you do not need to worry about commas. Eachfield should be entered into a cell.1 Chris Philips President2 1 Lynn Brewer Chief Financial Officer3 1 Larry Stevens Vice President4 You can, in addition, enclose each field value within text delimiters.For example, if you separate fields with spaces, you need to enclose field valueswithin another delimiter if the field values themselves contain spaces. Fieldvalues can be enclosed in double quotes, as in the following example: "2" "1""Lynn Brewer" "Chief Financial Officer"5 If you want to use one of your text delimiters as a literal character, precede itwith an escape character.For example, if a field value contains a double-quotation mark, place a backslash(\) in front of it so that <strong>OrgPlus</strong> knows it is a literal quote character and not thedelimiter for a field.6 Each record must contain a Position field and a Reports To field. Otherwise,the import wizard cannot determine the relationship between records.7 You can create a header row that tells <strong>OrgPlus</strong> the names of the fields in theText or Excel file.If you create a header row, it must be the first row in the file. Instead of fieldvalues, the fields in this row contain the names of the fields themselves, forexample: employee name, position, reports to, and title.8 Make sure there are no blank lines in the file.Importing Data 6-3
