Import Existing Data

You can import existing Events, Performance, and reporting data, which have been submitted to a supported regulatory organization (NERC or CEA), into a GAA Unit.

Note: If you have a pop-up blocker enabled on your browser, you need to disable it to import data.

Steps

1. Access the GAA Unit to which you want to import existing data.

2. In the upper-right corner of the workspace, select Import Data.

   The Import Data window appears.

   

3. In the Select the file box, select the file from which you want to import the data.
4. In the Select Year box, select the year for which you want to import the data. By default, the current year is selected in this field.

5. In the Regulatory Organization box, select the Regulatory Organization to which the data will be reported. By default, NERC is selected in this field.

   Note: You can import data only for the primary regulatory organization of a unit.

6. In the Import Type box, select the type of the record. By default, Event is selected in this field.

   Note: When importing data for an Event, Events are considered related events if the following conditions are met:

   • The value in the Event End Date field of an existing Primary Event matches the value in the Event Start Date field of a new Primary Event.

   • There is a valid event transition between the two events.

   You can import the Performance data for a selected GAA Unit only:

   • If all the months, previous years to current year, contain a Performance record. If no Performance record exists for one of the months, the data will not be imported.
   • If, in the current year, all the months to the current month contain a performance record.
7. Select Start Import.

   Note: When importing data:

   • For Event records, if the selected GAA Unit has existing Events, a Delete dialog box appears, asking you to confirm that you want to delete the existing Events.
   • For Performance records, if the selected GAA Unit has existing Performance records, an Update dialog box appears, asking you to confirm that you want to update the existing Performance records.

   The data is imported. A text file is generated containing the details of the log created during data import.

   Note: When importing data for Performance records, if the selected GAA Unit contains existing Events, after importing the data, the Performance reports for months that contain Events will be in OUT OF SYNC status. You can regenerate the Performance record.
