How to import Rank Codes

This article explains how to import Rank Codes into APM

Workflow

1. Download the attached excel template for Rank Codes import.
   
   Import Rank Codes.xlsx
2. Fill in the data in columns:
   
   Code - max 10 symbols, capital letters only, spaces and spaces and some of the special signs are not allowed (e.g. !,?,*,%);
              However, there are still signs that are allowed (/,&). So you'd better test it by adding dummy Rank Code under General Codes from the user interface;
   Name - varchar (max 40 symbols);
   Sort - integer values in range 0-999;
   
   
   
   
3. Copy the sql select for those lines into SQL Studio;
   
   
   
   
4. Use CTRL+F in SQL Studio to search for all lines with ".
   Substitute all signs " with the empty values.
   
   
   
   
5. Run the insert statement.
   
   
   
   
6. Refresh APM and open General Codes. You will see that the new Ranks were added into the system.
   
   
   
   
7. We recommend you to do this in the Test system first to see that it works fine and only after apply the same changes in Prod.
