Importing Pedons from NASIS • Click the Import button and the data will be imported table by table • The import process takes the larger flat-file and breaks it into the individual pedon data tables • These tables are placed in a folder called NASIS_DataDump_tables at the same location the import text file resides at. • The process will imports the tables one by one. • Check your imported data – to make sure the proper number of records came through. One way to do this is to open the site, pedon, and phorizon table and check that the record counts match the counts you saw when loading the data in NASIS. • Known ISSUES that will cause the import process to fail….. • Carriage returns in any text note memo fields within the data – if these occur the sites where they occur will not be imported.
