Imported Columns
IPF files must have at least one of the following two columns:
- an X-COORDINATE and Y-COORDINATE columns, AND/OR
- a LOCATION-ID column
. Optionally, it can have a column for the z coordinate: Z-COORDINATE and the location ID: LOCATION-ID. These names are case insensitive.
Because the actual data that will be imported is time series data, a file column must also be present. Its name is irrelevant, because it is specified by index in the IPF file (where 1 is the first column). The importer will not crash if no file column is present, but of course no time series data will be imported.
