Import FAR/Supplemental Regulation Files Subtask
Use this subtask to import supplemental regulation clauses from comma-separated file(s) into the Manage Supplemental Regulations Library screen.
There are two ways to work with input files in Costpoint:
- You can access the input file from the network by using alternate file locations.
- You can upload the input file to the Costpoint database; in which case, no further access to network folders is necessary.
You must first create a comma-separated value (CSV) file that contains the information you want to import into the Manage Supplemental Regulations Library screen before using this subtask. The file must have the correct input layout so you can successfully import it. For more information on creating CSV files, see Input File Information.
When you import files and errors are found, Costpoint automatically displays the Import Supplemental Regulations Library Error Report, and you can review the errors. See Error Messages for possible errors that you can encounter. Once you have imported the files without errors, Costpoint updates the Manage Supplemental Regulations Library screen with the information you imported. Only supplemental regulation clauses that do not previously exist will be imported upon successful import.
You have to save the record before the updates can be reflected in the respective Costpoint database table.
