It will usually be more convenient to create and enter data electronically using software outside WRDB (a text editor or spreadsheet, for example). Sometimes, you may be provided electronic data created in digital format (such as from automatic recorders). It is easy to import electronic data into WRDB using the following step-by-step procedure:
To enter data into a new or existing Working table, first Create a Working table or Open an Existing Working table. The data browser for the table will be opened and selected.
Next, select Edit | Import | File or Table, and then select the desired file format from the pick list.
Select the desired import file using the File Browser and click OK.
The WRDB import tool will run and display its progress and any error messages. If errors were detected, no data will be added to the Working table. If the import was successful, records will be added after your approval.
