Data Import Security

Vision closely controls who can use the Data Import utility.

When you first access the Data Import utility, only transaction type tables are available in the Table Description field.

To access non-transaction type tables, such as Client, Employee, or Project Info Center records, you must have security access to those tables. Security access is based on settings entered for your role in Configuration > Security > Roles.

To access non-transaction type tables, hold down CTRL + SHIFT and click the Import Utility form. Vision displays the Confirm Password dialog. Enter your password and click OK.

Enabling Data Import for Users

For a user to access Data Import, the user's role must have access to certain areas and functions in Configuration > Security > Roles.

  • On the General tab, the role must have access to Transaction Centers and the Units info Center.
  • On the Info Center tab, the role must have either Add/Modify or Full access to these areas.
  • The role must be able to add records to the table.
