The MTIMP program is used to import reports into ChartNet.
The following is a screen shot of the MTIMP program.
Configuring the Import Profile

Errors File
When the program runs, if any errors occur that keep a report from importing, the program will create an error file called "ERROR.LOG", located in the same folder that the imported report files come from. Each time the program runs, it will erase this file before starting the import process. It is the user's responsibility to review this file (using NotePad or other word processor) to see which files had errors.
