>> This video will cover using the import export function
in the regional water planning data entry application.
This functionality is available for the sources, entities, and WMS modules of the application
and allows users to update data entered by planning decades,
our many sources of logs at the same time.
This is done by exporting existing records to a CSB file format.
Making edits to the CSB and then uploading the files through the application in order
to save all of the changes made to the decadal values at the same time.
As an example, I will demonstrate how this is done in the entities module.
But the process is very similar in the other modules.
First, within the entities module, I will click
on the import export existing WUG supply data text
in the dark blue sub-menu to open that page.
A table of display showing all the existing full entities associated with my user access regions.
The filters on this page are important
because they control what is included in my CSB export file.
To learn more about filtering in the application,
please watch the applying filters training video.
In this example, I will be updating existing WUG supply data
for steam electric power WUG splits in region I.
Using the whole slash split column filter, I will first choose split,
which updates the table to only show split records.
You can only export and import one record type at a time.
Next, I will select I from the region dropdown menu and steam electric power
from the entity WUG subtext drop-down menu before clicking the apply filter button.
Now that I have the records I plan on editing displayed in the table, I will click the export
to CSB button to download my selection.
A recommended best practice is to save a copy of the original CSB download as a backup.
But it is important to keep the same file name for the version of the CSB
that will be edited and uploaded to the application.
