Load Work Package

Explanation

You can upload a semicolon separated value (.csv) file with work package, task and fault details to create or update work packages, tasks and faults for Mobile Maintenance for Aviation. The work package file must be loaded in its entirety at all times. The work package loader does not expect partial work packages or loading only changes.

On uploading, the file is processed and takes on a processing status as follows:

Processing status	Description
Uploaded	The file has been uploaded and is ready for processing. The status is set to this at the beginning of the file upload via browser step.
Processing	The file is being processed. This status is set to at the beginning of the file parsing step.
Failed	The file could not be successfully processed due to a data or business rule validation. The status is set to this at the end of the business rules validation step, if there are data or business rule validations.
Error	The file could not be successfully processed due to an unexpected processing error. The status is set to this at any step throughout the file processing when an unexpected error is encountered.
Completed	The file has been successfully processed. The status is set to this at the end of the business rules and validations steps, if there are no data or business rule validations.

 Once uploaded, you can view a summary of the execution on the header of the page, as well as details for each line type, in the tabs for the page.

To remove a task, fault or work types from a work package, or remove parts, tools, skills, and actions from faults and additionally measurements and steps from tasks, you must delete the row for the line type from the work package loader file and upload the work package loader file.
