Introduction

The Importing activity allows you to import data into the database with various file formats. This data can be for Channels, Site information or Meter Readings. The importing can be scheduled to load at a desired frequency picking up data from an email account, FTP or file location.

Security is important to us and yourselves so each file will be virus checked when loaded into Sigma.  Files may be rejected if the anti-virus scan reports them as suspicious.
