File Paths
●
●
Allows each user to select where PeopleImport Files are saved
By default files are saved either in the users "MyDocuments" folder if running Windows XP or "Owner\Documents" folders if
running Windows Vista
❍ A "PeopleImportData" folder is created when the application is installed. For users upgrading from an earlier
version of PeopleImport, where these files were previously saved in C:\Program Files\PeopleImport, any new log
and restore files will now be created and saved in the new directories.
❍
●
Replace lists are MOVED to the new location.
To change a file location, either type in the new file path or click
on the right and browse for the new
location
❍ If changing a file location be sure to create the folder for the data and include the \ at the end of the folder name
❍
This feature is helpful for allowing multiple PeopleImport users to have access to Log Files, Restore Files and
ReplaceLists (just change the path to a central network drive)
1. Restore File Directory
●
●
●
Restore files containing a before image of the records prior to any changes are generated for any records that were
updated
Restore files an be used to "undo" the import
A Final Results file is also created which contains a copy of the grid AFTER the import completes
❍ The Final Results file will now be populated with any new ID's created for inserted records and the Status field will
indicate if the update/insert was successful
❍
❍
If the word "Error" appears in an ID field this indicates that that particular record was not inserted, refer to the log
file for details as to why the insert failed
If Status indicates that an update was unsuccessful, refer to the logfile for details as to why the update failed
2. Log File Directory
●
●
●
When the import completes a results screen will be displayed with a count of any errors encountered during the import
along with a link to the log file
If the import completes with errors, refer to the log file as to the source of the errors
One log file is created per day
❍ The most recent information is at the bottom of the log file, so if the import was attempted multiple times during the
same day, scroll to the bottom of the log file for the most recent information
