Data Import and Export

IntelliServe

enables users to import raw and processed location data and

location information files (LIFs) from the local directory or network to the

IntelliServe database as well as export LIFs or data in other formats from the

database to other file locations. The exporting capability converts the data to

formats suitable for viewing or analysis through the Profile

software or for

importing into other database or spreadsheet applications.

Following are the file types and formats available for exporting or importing

through IntelliServe:

• Location Information Files (LIFs) Contain location configuration

information and parameters and are essential for processing raw monitor

data.

• Raw Data Files (bin.dat) Contain raw, unprocessed flow monitor or rain

gauge data.

• Profile Data Files (IFV) Contain processed location data collected

through Profile or formatted for viewing and analysis using Profile.

• Comma-Separated Value Files (CSV) Contain exported data files in a

text file format for importing data into a database or spreadsheet application,

such as Excel

This chapter provides instructions on importing and exporting LIFs and location

data into and from the IntelliServe database.
