You are not sure how to import your data?

Let us know. We will try to process your data or will send you additional instructions. Send us your data in excel or text file. We will check if there are any inconsistencies:

date values are in the wrong format
numerical fields are in the wrong format
borrower names are split into two, three columns
duplicate barcode values

equipment data, spreadsheet, date format

date value in the wrong format
it will be saved as "Sep 27"
it will import to our system in the wrong form that will cause error
date should be in the windows short form (YYYY/MM/DD, or other variations )

number in the wrong format
it will be saved as "9.78123E+11"
it will import to our system
wrong value will be imported to our system

equipment data in spreadsheet, wrong formats

We can concatenate two or more columns in the excel spread sheet and create data values accepted by our equipment tracking software.
Your spread sheet data file has borrower name in two columns: first name and last name.
We can add column that will automatically process your data and create column with the following value: "last name, first name".
