Bay Import Tool Overview
The Bay Import tool includes five features designed specifically for bays, allowing users to import large amounts of data into their data file when setting up bays. The import file must be a tab-separated text file formatted in the same way as other Sapphire Gateway II import files. This import function is unique to Bays, so the #??? syntax typically used in column A of other Gateway Import files is not needed. Column A must have unique data for SapphireOne to correctly identify the data to be imported. If SapphireOne detects a duplicate record, it will replace it with the data in the import file. Like other gateway import files, column A’s last row should contain four %%%% symbols to signal the end of the import file to SapphireOne.
