Importing List Data
The Remote Register software was designed so that you can select as much as possible from a list instead of typing in information. Still those lists need to be filled in somehow. Each list, the Accounts List and the Payees list, has an Import function where these lists can be filled from a file created by you on the PC or a file created by software such as our Remote Register for QuickBooks® companion product or MS Excel or any text editor.
Exporting Transactions
The Remote Register would really have no benefit if it could not send the transactions you enter into it to your financial management software in your home or office desktop computer. An “Export” function that is available from the Options menu of the Transaction List screen.
The basic idea is that you will access that file with your financial management software and then “import” the transactions into that software.
The Export File structure.
This product will export transactions in 3 formats.
• Remote Register Open Format.
This is a comma separated text file that is used with the associated QuickBooks® Remote Register desktop software we wrote as a companion to this software. This format, while proprietary, can be adapted for use with other financial software applications. The details for adapting this software to financial software other than QuickBooks are in the documentation that comes with the software.
• Standard Comma Separated Values (Text File) format
This is a very popular format commonly used to be loaded in spreadsheet and database software for further processing.
• The Quicken Interchange Format (QIF) format
This industry standard format is widely used when you get cleared transactions from your banking institution's web site that are automatically added to your financial software (such as Intuit's Quicken and MS Money).
