Data can be imported into a Resort Hotel database with the Import Wizard.  

 

Resort Hotel can import data from the following types of data sources:

 

•ASCII text files

•Chef Master files

•Meal Master files

•Recipe Exchange Format (RXF) files

•Resort Software databases

 

For more detailed information see the topic on the Import Wizard.

 

Before launching the import wizard, a dialog will appear asking if you wish to take a database snapshot before importing your data.  (For more information see the topic on database snapshots).  A database snapshot will make a temporary copy of your database as it is before importing anything. Should a problem occur during the import process, you will be able to revert to the database snapshot containing the original database prior to import.  See the following image.

 

 

NOTE: The database snapshot will be saved to the same directory containing the database you are taking a snapshot of.  If you do not wish to save the snapshot to this directory, you should cancel the import process and manually perform a database snapshot to save to an alternative directory.  See the topic on database snapshot for more help.
