How can I import a spreadsheet?

You may import a request data spreadsheet to view within the HIPAA Authorizer application. The import will be created based on the pre-set configurations and adds the data required to complete the import.

 

Authorization Request File Data:
Open the file and add the correct data as per the field data type. The "Header" and "Detail" records have one common "Header ID" field to establish the relationship between both data sets. Below are the database tables that store the header and detail data.
 

To begin importing a spreadsheet, follow the steps below:

 

1.Go to Database > Excel Import in the main menu window.
