New alternative format, object import utility available
Splendid City version 6.0 (Lite and Professional),
can now access schedule object data (Teams, Locations, Officials, Players,
Contacts) and associated parameters available in alternative, third party
formats.
To improve project data
migration
from other software vendors, Splendid City version 6.0 (Lite and Professional),
can access schedule object data (Teams, Locations, Officials, Players, Contacts)
and associated parameters available in alternative third party formats, and
convert / import that information into Splendid City in the form of Splendid
City schedule objects.
Currently
supported formats are :
*
Delimited Text
Files (Comma [CSV], Tab [TSV], Space, Colon,
Semi-Colon)
*
Database records
from mySQL, Postgre, or ODBC sources (windows
only) i.e. MS Access or .mdb
files.
Object data is imported
separately first, then if existing SC object pool names match with subsequent
data imports, the imported data becomes
associated with the matching object pool
type.
An
example of this would be a
team
that has a home
location
with associated
contact.
To make the correct association, users would first import the contact data into
Splendid City, then import location data, and if the 'name' parameter matches in
the contact pool, then the appropriate association will be made and the contact
data will carry over to the location object. Likewise, if team data is imported
and the associated location column
name is
identified in the SC location pool, then the appropriate contact --> location
--> team binding will take place.
