  1. Manually enter a sample entry into a data entry similar to the one desired to be imported.
  2. After completing the entry, select Visual Integrator, Main, Export Job Maintenance, and enter a desired Job Name such as PR_EXPORT.
  3. Click the Table Name lookup and select the table that will be used for the import job, such as PR.DATAENT, and click the Accept button.
  4. Select the "Insert All Fields During Setup" checkbox.
  5. Select the Data tab, and all fields should be listed in the right-side window pane.
  6. Click the Accept button and click Yes to the prompt "Prepare this job for use?".
  7. Click Yes to "Execute Job?" and click the Test button.
  8. Select the "All Records" checkbox and click the OK button.
  9. Click the Yes button at the prompt "Do you want to view the export log?".
  10. Double-click a record from the job log and make note of all the populated fields. The fields that are populated are the required fields for the import.
    • Note: Some of the populated fields may be Read-Only fields. If the populated field isn’t available in the import job, then it isn’t required. Also, numeric fields containing zeros are generally not required.
