Importing New Data

The import function is used to update your database with the latest payroll data, such as new tax scales, new reports and so on. Two file types can be imported: a .wlt file, which is an internal payroll file type, or an XML file, a universal format for data transmission.

The import process automatically recognises the data being imported. For example, if you are importing a new tax scale, the import process will run the tax scales import wizard, and install your new tax scales in the correct location. If you are importing a report, the process will import your new file directly into the correct location in the Report Explorer.

Occasionally HR3 Support staff may need to email you various system values/settings. These can also be imported via this process.

To Import a New File/Data:

1. In Navigator select Tools | Import
   The Select an Imported File screen will open
2. Make sure that the selected files of type is *.wlt (a custom payroll file type)
3. Browse to the location on your PC or server where the .wlt file has been saved.
4. Select the file, then click Open.

payroll will recognise the type of data which is being imported and start the relevant process. In most cases this will be either the report import wizard or the tax scales import wizard
