Importing Your Data


The Administration functions of Tabs on the Web would allow you to enter all your data via the web interface, but if you already have an excel, or filemaker document that you can export to a Tab delimited file then you can import that data in one step.

  • Click the "Import Tab Delimited File" button on the database tab.

  • This dialog lets you tell the database what fields to take out of the tab file and what fields of the database to assign them to. This way you dont have to have the database and the tab file with their fields in the same order, you can even ignore fields in the tab file or the database that you dont want to use or populate. In this example the fields are in the same order in the tab file and in the database so no re-numbering is necessary.

  • Click on the Import button.

    Importing of a tab file is not undoable. If you already have data in the database it will be cleared out before the new file is imported.

    After clicking Do The Import your data will be loaded.
