Import Button, via A/C Initial Template Load

The Import option is used to quickly import parts and P/N Controls into the system that are currently installed on the selected aircraft. This option allows the user to create a digital file listing these part numbers, part number controls, and all related information. The import process allows the user to efficiently import parts through a .txt file into the application, this allows the assignment of part number controls and positions at the time of import.

First, the user must prepare the file. For information regarding how to prepare the import file, refer to Preparing File For Import, via the Import Button of the System Standards Training Manual.

Note: Switch ACPNIMPORTDETAIL affects the functionality of the import process. When set to Yes, the user is able to import the actuals for 5 unique P/N Controls for each part. When set to No, the user is not able to import the actuals for P/N Controls. For more information, refer to Switch ACPNIMPORTDETAIL via the Technical Records Switches Manual.

Note: If a field designated for a checkbox is left unpopulated, TRAX considers this 'N' for Null, and the field is left blank once the import has been completed.

logo_12_5 small Note: Switch ACPNIMPORTDETAIL must be set to Yes and 'ZULU' entered in the Config Other field for the following fields to appear in the template load: Scheduled Date, Z-Log Hrs, Z-Log Min, Z-Log Cycles, Z-Log Days, Z-Log Date.

logo_15 small Note: In TRAX Version 15, four new columns were added to the A/C Initial Template Load import file - Display Hours/Display Cycles/Display Days/Authorization. Each column is available for each P/N Control 01-05. The Display Hours/Display Cycles/Display Days columns are used to indicate if the 'Show On Report' checkboxes should be selected on its related P/N Control, and the Authorization column is used to indicate each P/N Control's authorization status. Additionally, the Reset date can now include the time (Hours/Minutes) using the format: DD/MM/YY HH:MM, and if the Actual Hours/Actual Cycles/Actual Days columns is left blank, once imported the related field will also remain empty (prior to Version 15 a value of '0' was populated).
