Problem
You have multiple Features for Households or Family Members on your import file and want to import each one into RecTrac. Only one file may import or no files may import.
Solution
To import multiple Features during a Household import, you'll need to update your Import Template. Updating this template allows the import of multiple Features.
Steps For Solution
- In RecTrac, open your Menu and browse to Household Import.
- Select your preferred template option from the Template field.
- Click Change to apply the template you have selected.
- On the Import Fields tab, select the Features field that you want to use. This field can be from an SAHousehold table, SAPerson table, or both.
- In the Custom Option field for Features, replace the existing value with: "cat!, 6".For your Input File, ensure that your list of Features is separated with a comma.
- If using a CSV file, make sure to place each of your Features in the same column, each one separated with a comma.
- If using both Household and Person Features, make sure to place each Feature group in separate columns.
- If using a text file, make sure to surround your Features by quotes and separate with a comma. Example: "Feat1,Feat2,Feat3".
- If using both Household and Person Features, make sure to separate each Feature group with appropriate quotes and commas. Example: "HHFeat1,HHFeat2","FMFeat1,FMFeat2".
