1 The ClinLab software allows data updates in the database using batch import. Rules for records update are almost same as for import and it must meet the following conditions:
2
3 * File extension is **txt** or **csv**.
4 * File encoding is **UTF-8 without BOM**.
5 * Columns are separated by **commas**.
6 * Text **does not** need to be **enclosed** in quotation marks unless it contains a comma.
7 * Decimal numbers are separated by a **dot.**
8 * Dates are in the format **DD/MM/YYYY**.
9 * Checkbox values are "**on**" (checked) or "**off**" (unchecked).
10 * The **first row** contains a **header** with the identification of imported parameters.
11 * The first column contains the patient **identification** (idPatient), followed by the form definition (form) where the parameter we want to update is located, and then the parameter definition (param) separated by an underscore.
12 * For **categorical parameters**, the imported text value must **exactly match** the displayed text on the form.
