After making your selections, the field names will be displayed in field order from left to right,

enclosed in double-quotation marks in the lower portion of the

Import window. Use this

same field order as your guideline when building the comma-delimited text file that you

will use for import.

4 The final step is to actually create the file using the program that contains the data you wish

to import.

MPORTANT: The file you create must conform exactly to the specifications listed in the Import File

Checklist below. If it does not, none of the information will be imported. Instead you will receive

a notification to double-check and correct the formatting of your import file before attempting to

import it again.

Import File Checklist

• The first line of your import file must contain a Header Line that consists of each field name

enclosed in double-quotation marks and separated by commas.

• The Data Type, Max Size and Format values for each field name must conform exactly to

the guidelines described in the Import window.

• The spelling of the field names in your Header Line must match exactly to the field names listed.

• The field order of the field names in your Header Line must match exactly to the field

order listed.

• There should be no spaces between the field names and the commas. If any are included

it will cause an error when the file is imported.

Example of a correctly formatted, comma-delimited text file:

“Map Location Name”,”Address1”,”Address2”,”City”,”State”,”ZipCode”,”Longitude”,”Latitude”

“ABC Supply”,”201 Main”,”Suite 600”,”Spring”,”TX”,”77373”,””,””
