Data Import and Conversion

The Data Import facility imports data into the DMS for use in Point-of-Sale. Firstly the source data is loaded onto the Autoline server. Then the source data is converted into the Autoline database.

To import and convert source data:

Click the Data import icon on the Shortcuts sidebar on the Vauxhall Aftersales Workbench Administrator form. When you are ready, click Next to run the Data Import and Conversion wizard.

The wizard performs eight tasks, in this order:

The hourglass symbol shows the task is in progress, with Progress bars providing a visual indication of the proportion of the task completed so far. As each task is completed, either a green tick shows that it was successful or a red cross shows that it failed. If it failed, an error message is displayed.

When the wizard has run, a message confirms that the data import is complete and the source data has been converted successfully. Click Finish to return to the Vauxhall Aftersales Workbench Administrator form.
