Importing a .DRI file into PHDwin V3

Best Practice Tip: Prior to running any import, create a backup of your PHDwin project.

To do so, go to the Database Settings tab on the Ribbon. Click Database Manager. Then click the Backup button located in the upper right of the Database Manager window.

1. 1. From the Home ribbon, click Import. Select Import from the options list.
      

    

   2. On the Import window, nagivate to and select the .DRI file you wish to import.

    

   3. Make the desired selection in the Options pane. This is where you can specify which Scenario you wish to add the cases to, which ID code should be used for matching to existing cases, desired behavior for when a match is not found, and whether or not to display the import log.
       

      Best Practice Tip: Change the Display Log option to Always – this is a quick way to QC your import as it will show you all cases that were imported, matched, or had an error.
       

   4. Make desired Import Options selections in the Import Options window. Available choices are:
      – Clear all data then import
      – Replace overlapping
      – Only append new data
      – Do not import
      

    

   5. After your selections have been made, click Apply.

    

   6. After the import is completed,the log file will be displayed, if enabled, and you can begin working with new/update case data.
