About the Rounds Data Loaders Workbook Layout and Use

This section provides a high-level overview and explanation of how the data loader workbooks are constructed.

In order to import data using the Rounds Data Loaders, GE Digital provides separate data loader workbooks for:

The workbooks support the baseline Rounds functionality in GE Digital APM. The workbooks must be used to perform the data load. You can modify the data loader workbooks to include custom fields used by your organization.

Each data loader workbook contains one worksheet for each node that will be populated in the data model.

Each worksheet in these data loader workbooks contain field values that must be mapped to the appropriate GE Digital APM family/field combination. The individual sections in this document specify the source and target fields and relationships required between predecessors and successor.

The list of fields tabulated is not exhaustive. The user can add additional field columns to the worksheets and, provided that the field columns are properly mapped within the worksheets, the upload will still be successful.

Data Loader Batch Fields

The Rounds Data Loaders workbooks include columns of data that are used to identify batches of related records. These values are not imported to a field in the GE Digital APM database. Generally, these will be the first few columns in each worksheet. They each use a prefix that identifies the relevant record type being imported, whereas columns that will be imported have IDs that match the field IDs in GE Digital APM, which generally use the prefix MI_.
