Board Data Manager

The Board Data Manager allows you to add advanced data importing and exporting capabilities to any status board in Unified Command Platform. After this feature is enabled, you can download an XLSX template to organize data for importing. The import fields in the template match the fields from the board and, if you modify the board, Unified Command Platform automatically updates the template. During the import process, Unified Command Platform validates data to ensure it is in the proper format and required fields are completed. The tool also provides you with the ability to update existing records using any field as the unique key from the imported data; this allows for quick updating of records in Unified Command Platform when data is maintained in other applications.

The Board Data Manager add-on builds on the importing and exporting capabilities available in every Unified Command Platform system. This tool allows you to import data from a spreadsheet to a board, import shapefile data to a board, and export data from a board to a spreadsheet.

The capability to export board data can be enabled on any board to allow users to quickly export the fields from the view to Microsoft^® Excel^®, or any other spreadsheet program that supports an XLSX format. An advanced exporting feature allows administrators to export all data from any board, including related data and relationships between tables. This advanced functionality also allows you to import related data while maintaining the relationship of data among multiple tables.
