Keys During Import

sDRNumber and sSDRev are the keys

 

Settings Configuration

After the clickOnce installation is complete you will need to configure the Settings.  To access Settings go to >File, >Settings

PDI-Settings

 

  • Soap User: This is the Username you use to log into EZ-MES
  • Soap Key: This is the Passkey that is generated within EZ-MES.  If you dont have one: Generate a New PassKey
  • Web-Service URL: This is the URL used to access EZ-MES.  You will need to add the '/eazywebservice.asmx' at the end.  

Use the Test Passkey button on the upper left to verify your settings are configured correctly.  After the settings are completed successfully close this form.  You should not have to re-enter this for future uses.

 

DR Importer Usage

After you have completed the settings you can now begin importing your Data Report contained in your Excel File.  See our sample Excel File that demonstrates how it can look.  Your excel file can vary with the column headers because you will be required to match them up to the EZ-MES Attributes after you import the file.

 

Selecting file

Click the Excel Icon to Choose the file.

 

Matching Column Headers

 After the file is selected and imported, you will now be tasked with matching up the Colums in Excel to the EZ-MES Attribute.  

Noticed my example has a Column that is irrelevant to EZ-MES.  This is okay, but I must select 'Ignore' from the pulldown.  Any blank fields will not allow for execution of the import.

 

Execution of Import

After the file is selected and you have the Column Headers matched up, the Execution Icon will become active.  You can now use it to run the import.  

Messages will be displayed in the Status Window.  If the import is successful, you should now log into your application and verify the results.

Although these are subject to change, the goal will be to keep them intuitive.
