Importing Event Files

The default maximum size of an imported file is 2 MB.

   2. Event Sub Type
   3. Event Area
   4. Event Definition

   This is the hierarchy level (for example, Enterprise, property, revenue center, or zone).

5. Select the Language.
6. Select the importable format from the Format drop-down list.

   You can select either comma-separated values (CSV) or a Pipe delimited text file.

11. After the import process completes, save the imported files using a text editor, such as Notepad.
