HOW TO LOAD A DELIMITED FILE IN X88’S

PRODUCT PANDORA

SELECT 'DATABASE'...

The database stores all data that is used throughout

Pandora. You can access all tables/columns/values from all of the different projects

here.

RIGHT CLICK 'TABLES'...

By right clicking tables you are presented with an option menu where you will need to

select ‘Load Data’.

After this a new screen (Select Data Source will appear…

SELECT DATA SOURCE GROUP

The data source you select will depend on what format the data your trying to load is saved as. E.g. a CSV file will be loaded

through Delimited Files, an excel spreadsheet will be loaded

through spreadsheets and a database will obviously be loaded

through database tables.

In this presentation we are going to select Delimited Files as the data we are loading is

saved as a CSV file.

SELECT DATASOURCE

The next screen will be showing you which files you can chose to load

your data to/from. ‘Public Files’ can be

accessed by anyone who uses the product, ‘Group

Files’ can be accessed by individuals who have been granted permission

to view them and ‘My Files’ can only be viewed

by you, the user.

In this presentation we are going to

select ‘Public Files’.

SELECT TABLES

Here you are presented with all the different files

that are currently available to be loaded. If the file you wish to load is not shown here you can find it by selecting ‘Send’, this will then

take you to all the files that are saved on your computer system and

you will be able to select which one you wish to

load.

In this presentation we are going to select the Mortgages file which is

already available.

SELECT THE DEFAULT PROJECT…

You need to select the default project for you new table load. The project you

select will be where you find your table when you go to use it in the future. If you

are wishing to load the table to a new project it is

important that you have already created it so that it

is available in the drop down list found here…

CONFIGURE TABLE…

Here you are given a small sample of your

data so you can check for any faults that it may contain. If any faults are found it means you can try and deal with them before loading a whole table into Pandora. In this example there are no faults and therefore the table can be loaded

straight away.

Because there are no faults all you need to do is select ‘Next’

and then ‘Load”. The ‘load complete’ box will pop up once the table has been successfully

loaded.
