The most powerful feature of the portal is the ability to queue data for importing into OpenGround Cloud Professional.

This is particularly useful as the portal will validate the file for any errors which would prevent a full import and provide real time feedback to the user uploading.

The ability to queue requires the Queue Imports role which to be assigned to the user’s security group as shown below. Assigning users roles is covered within the main OpenGround Professional documentation.

Once this role is added, any user can queue imports via the portal.

To start an import queue follow the steps below:

Login to the Upload portal.
Select the project into which you want to import.
Select Upload Data from the top menu.
Select the file format, any appropriate mapping and put a comment (mandatory). After entering a comment press start upload.

The file should process and upload. When completed you will be greeted with one of three Results.

Not Successful – File contains errors so cannot import
Successful but with warnings – The file has uploaded however there are some warnings that will be displayed on the page for review
File uploaded with no warning – The file has been uploaded with no warnings Examples below.

After the data has been queued, you can press finish or start another upload.

Successful files are ready to be imported into OpenGround Cloud Professional.

To import the file follow the steps below:

Open the project.
Navigate to Manage Imports in OpenGround Cloud Professional Data Menu. The files will be displayed in the dialog window.
Press import to start the import process or download source data to download the file.
