This provides a quick and easy way to enter data into the eDMR system and performs a validation of the data to catch errors or potential violations. All that is required is to enter data into an Excel spreadsheet, save it as a CSV file type, then import into eDMR.  \nThis CSV file must conform to predefined specifications in order to import data correctly into eDMR.  \n(Note: This is a quick start guide, please refer to the “eDMR Facilities Reporting Guide, Section 3.2.2 - Importing Data into the eDMR Application and the Appendix” for additional information on importing data into the eDMR system.)  \nCreating CSV file using Excel Spreadsheet Template  \nNorth Carolina Division of Water Quality has developed a spreadsheet template that can be customized by each facility and then used to produce a CSV file for importing data into eDMR. The Excel spreadsheet template located on the “eDMR Website” under “Forms and Reports” ([http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/admin/bog/ipu/edmrforms](http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/admin/bog/ipu/edmrforms)) is available to all users. The Excel spreadsheet template consists of multiple worksheets:  \n• The first worksheet, “DMR permit \\# yyyy-mm”, contains both Report and Report Page information. It is the only worksheet required if the user has only one Outfall/Sampling location (one page) to import.  \n• The second worksheet, “Outfall nnn Influent”, contains Report Page information for additional effluent and/or influent pages. It is used if there is a second Page to import (i.e. Additional Effluents or Influent) . The second worksheet can be copied to additional worksheets and renamed in order to enter data for additional pages.  \n• The third worksheet, “Outfall nnn Upstream”, contains Report Page information for the Upstream sample point.  \n• The fourth worksheet, “Outfall nnn Downstream”, contains Report Page information for the Downstream sample point.  \n• The fifth worksheet contains lookup information which controls what can be entered in some of the cells of worksheets 1 and 2. This worksheet should not be modified and has been hidden.  \nDo NOT modify the format or layout of this template, doing so will change the CSV input file and make it unusable.  \nThe spreadsheet should be filled in with the appropriate data and then saved as a CSV file type. This CSV file can then be imported into the eDMR system to create the permit reports.  \nExcel Spreadsheet  \nBring up the Excel spreadsheet template and tailor it to match your facility’s reporting requirements. Refer to your permit to determine the information and parameters to be included on your report.  \nAdding and Removing Parameters  \nThe areas within the red borders should be updated to reflect the parameters your facility is reporting. Verify that the PCS code, description and unit of measure for each of the parameters is correct and change or add where appropriate. ( For a complete list of PCS codes, go to the eDMR website, [http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/admin/bog/ipu/edmr](http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/admin/bog/ipu/edmr), then to the User Documentation section. )  \nSpreadsheet with Data Entered  \nThis spreadsheet below was created from this template and contains facility information and has some useful built in calculations. The number of parameter columns can be increased as needed.  \nCreating the Excel CSV File  \nAfter daily values have been entered into the spreadsheet, save as a CSV file for importing into eDMR. To save as a CSV file, the user should click File- > Save As- > . The “Save As”pop up box will appear. User should select the folder where the file will be saved and should enter a name for the file in “File name” box. The name should be meaningful, such as “nc0024147-001-(7-2008)_eff”, which corresponds to “Permit \\# , Outfall \\# , Month-Year of report, and Outfall & Location (Eff-effluent, Inf-Influe","cbCain152LXRHMOI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCain152LXRHMOI","pdf",733786,13,"English","# Importing Data into the eDMR Application\n## Required Excel Template Workflow\n## Creating CSV File using the Excel Spreadsheet Template\n## Creating the Excel CSV File\n## Each Outfall & Sampling Location Saved Separately\n# Report and Page Create Process for Importing","[{\"question\":\"How does importing work in eDMR using an Excel template?\",\"answer\":\"Enter data in the Excel spreadsheet template, save it as a CSV (comma delimited) file, and import it into eDMR. eDMR validates the data during import to catch errors or potential violations.\"},{\"question\":\"Why must the CSV follow predefined specifications?\",\"answer\":\"The CSV must conform to predefined specifications so eDMR can import the report correctly.
