2.1.7  Data Parsing

Most of the data in your contribution (aside from reference data) will be processed in the Data step of the Contribution Wizard. In most cases, this will consist of inserting thousands of records into many database tables, which can take several minutes.

So that you will know where in the data processing stage the Contribution Wizard is, you will see a status bar like the one in the screen below. For each table in your contribution files, you will see a status bar indicating the current record being processed. The status bar image illustrates visually where each record lies, and below the bar is a numeric indication of the record.

If an error is found during the data processing, the processing will not continue. You will see a message indicating what the problem is so that you may fix it in your MagIC program data. Once fixed, you may return to the Contribution Wizard to update your contribution.
