Import Block Orders and Allocations

The allowable file types to import blocks and allocations are comma separated value (CSV), which is the default, and tab delimited (TXT).

To import block orders and allocations

  1. For Advent Moxy:
    Select Tools > Imports > Advent Moxy.

    For all others:
    Select Tools > Imports > Block Orders & Allocations.

  2. (Optional) Enter the Import Name.

    Note
    Although entering an import name is optional, to help locate and identify the import when reviewing its status, we recommend that you enter a name.

  3. Choose the File Type:

    Comma Separated Value (Default)
    Values in the CSV file are separated by commas.
    Tab-Delimited
    Values in the TXT file are separated by tab characters.

  4. Select Choose File to locate the import file.

    - The file path cannot be entered manually.
    - The name of the selected file populates the File Path field

  5. Select Run Import.

    A validation check is performed on the import file. If errors exist, they may be due to a general issue, such as:

    • File path does not exist.
    • File name does not exist.
    • File size is too large.
    • File fails virus scan.
    • File format cannot be read (extra columns included, or file type does not match selection).

    Once the import is confirmed, as a best practice, select Import/Export Status to view the import's status. Use the Import Name you specified to locate and identify your import.

    Go to: View Import Status
