Qbyte Exchange Main Menu 

Introduction

Qbyte Exchange is powerful functionality that allows Qbyte CS Land users to update the Qbyte CS Land database using provided Excel templates. Work with your System Administrator to complete the one-time Qbyte Exchange Setup before you can see the Qbyte Exchange menu option in Excel.

After you Login to Qbyte Exchange and have specified either Insert or Update from the Qbyte Exchange Main Menu for the  Pipelines module, the template tabs and columns will be automatically loaded, and the Qbyte Exchange Module Menu will be shown on the right side of the spreadsheet where you will perform all the actions necessary to update the Qbyte CS Land database.

All processing options are explained on the Qbyte Exchange Module Menu page.

When updating, retrieve existing data via Get Data, the Delete value will default to "N".  Change the value to "Y" to indicate that you wish to delete the specific row.  If blank, "N" is assumed. 

  • Validate will display a 'Conflict' error along with message 'Row will be deleted - are you sure?'.  Simply change the Delete column back to "N", if you change your mind.  

  • Upon Save, the Remarks with a delete flag of "Y" are deleted from the database and the remaining remarks occurrence number will be renumbered.  However, the just deleted row will still appear temporarily on the spreadsheet with status = 'Deleted' as a visual indication that the row has been deleted and the occurrence renumber will not be apparent.  A subsequent Get Data will omit the deleted rows and display the reordered remarks occurrence.

Pipelines Client Defined

The ability to Insert and update data on mass within Qbyte Exchange for the Client Defined tab is different than how that data is entered into Qbyte CS Land. 

  • Tab label will be generic 'Client Defined' not the unique label defined in the Qbyte CS Land configuration. 

  • Specific fields (label and its value) must be entered into its own row within the spreadsheet.  If a specific field is not needed, it does not need to be added in the spreadsheet.  In Qbyte CS Land all defined Client Defined Fields are shown n the window regardless if a value has been populated or not.

  • Get data from P2 will bring only the fields (rows) with values populated into the spreadsheet.

HINTS & TIPS

File Number*

When inserting a new Client Defined record, the File Number specified must already exist.  Any one File Number may have multiple rows in the spreadsheet if there are more than 1 applicable Client Defined Labels/Values.  

When updating an existing Client Defined record, the File Number cannot be changed.

Label*

When inserting a new Client Defined record, the Label must be entered exactly as it appears in the Qbyte CS Land window (or as defined in Admin > Client Defined Fields update screen). 

When updating an existing Client Defined record, the Label cannot be changed.

Value*

The Value is required when inserting new rows and can also be updated after the initial save.  The cell is always defined as Text in the Qbyte Exchange spreadsheet regardless of Value entered. 

Values entered are validated accordingly per the field setup in Qbyte CS Land:

  • Dates can be entered with or without a format.   For example, if a date format of 'yyyy-mm-dd' has been defined, the date must be entered as '2022-12-13'. If a date format was not defined, the date can be entered as '2022-12-13', and Qbyte Exchange will format the date to the default date format of 'Dec 13, 2022' - just like it is in the application.

  • Validation codes entered must exist in the applicable validation code table.

  • String values entered must not exceed 1910 alpha/numeric characters.  Alt + Enter can be used to break the text string to a new line.

  • Percentage can be entered with or without a format.  

  • Number can be entered with or without a format.  For number fields setup with masks:

    • The 0 (zero) character will allow a leading zero to be entered in Qbyte CS Land and all leading zeroes will be visible when the field is imported to Qbyte Exchange.  For example, with mask 000-000-00000, entered as 00-000-0001 in Qbyte CS Land, will display as 000-000-0001 in Qbyte Exchange.

    • The # character will allow a leading zero to be entered in Qbyte CS Land only if there is a non-numeric character like a dash (-) in the mask.  Leading zeroes are not displayed when the field is imported to Qbyte Exchange.  For example, with mask ###-###-####, entered 000-000-0001 in Qbyte CS Land will display as '- -1' in Qbyte Exchange.

Note:  If a Client Defined field was setup in Qbyte CS Land as being mandatory, then in Qbyte Exchange a value must be provided for that field if that Label exists in the spreadsheet.  However, if there is not a row for the Label in the spreadsheet, there is not validation to indicate it is missing.
