How do I import ingredients from another database?

To import ingredients (only) from another database you must use the Import Wizard.

It is possible to import ingredients from the following data sources:

 

ASCII text files

Chef Master files

Resort Software database

 

There are separate topics in the section titled 'Importing Data' detailing how to import ingredients from each of these file types.

 

NOTE 1: It is important, when importing ingredients into your database that you do not choose to use the "Merge databases" option.  You should select specific data to be imported into your database.

 

NOTE 2: If you are importing recipes into your database, the system will automatically import  all ingredients required for those recipes.  You can import recipes (and the ingredients contained within them) from the following data sources:

 

Chef Master files

Meal Master files

Recipe Exchange Format (RXF) files

Resort Software databases

 

For more information on importing data, see the topic on the Import wizard.
