Importing Existing New Loans and Payments from Prior Servicing Systems
From your main Trakker screen, select the System > Utilities > Convert Data option.
1. | When this process is finished, a ‘Complete’ window will appear with the message informing that ‘Files are exported’. Click the okay button. |
2. | Now, you will need to go to the root directory in which Trakker is installed (C:\MFS). In this folder is located a subfolder called dataout. Open this folder. |
3. | Locate any file with the format year.xls (i.e. 2006.xls). Double click this file to open it in an Excel spreadsheet. |
4. | In excel, select all rows except the row containing column headers and delete this information. |
5. | Save the file as year.xls which will now have just column headings. |
6. | Next, the payment history data must be imported. For an explanation of definitions of each column, Dataout - Year Files. |
7. | Once all data has been inputted, sort the information by year, saving each year as a separate file (i.e. 2004.xls, 2005.xls, 2006.xls, etc.). |
8. | These files can now be sent to the Help Desk to be converted into the proper data files for Trakker to interpret. |
