Summary

Importing data in DELFT-FEWS is different from running a wizard in e.g. a much used office software package. To be able to import data into the system the following requirements should be met:

1. The file-type you want to import should be readable by one of the imports available in Delft-Fews
2. You must configure an instance of this import module
3. You must add the moduleInstance to an workflow (usually tne ImportExternal Workflow)
4. In case the locationId's and parameterId's in your Delft-Fews configuration are not identical to those in the files you need to import a IdMap file should be set up and referred to in the import module
5. You will probably need to adjust one or more locationsets, the filters.xml file and the DisplayGroups.xml file if you need to display or process the newly imported data types.
