Step 1 - Preparations: Data import from DELTA file and new import session

Choose Data -> Import -> Import DELTA ... (see Import DELTA file) from the menu and import the DELTA file to project "Deemy" (see below). If the original database contains special characters, e.g. the German letters "ä", "ö" or "ü", it is recommended to specify the export character set "Unicode" or "UTF" if the application allows that. If the character set "ANSI" or "ASCII" was used, you may try the corresponding encoding setting to get a satifactory import result. The option "Accept comma as decimal separator" was checked, because the export has been done on a German computer system, where a value like "3.14" is exported as "3,14".

Close the window above and choose Data -> Import -> Wizard -> Organize session ... from the menu. A window as shown below will open, click the New button to create a new import session. Select project "Deemy" and enter a session description. Finally click button Save to store the data (see below).

When you now click on button Mapping you can see that no mapping data are available (see below).
