Borehole Manager | File | Import | AGS Data Format
The program is used to import into the Borehole Manager a variety of geotechnical and geoenvironmental data from text files that use an AGS data structure. The process involves selecting the data file to be imported, mapping the import fields to the Borehole Manager fields, and importing the data, table-by-table.

Introduction
Some important notes about this import tool:
- This wizard imports table by table. This is in contrast to the Excel import which gathers up all the information then does the import all at once. This tools' table-based approach gives you more control over the data that is imported and the sequence. You only need to import the tables you want.
- If you import regularly from the same source or from a different source with a similar layout, you can save the import settings as a template for future use.
- The I-Data, I-Text, T-Data, P-Data, and P-Text can be imported in multiple passes since new data types can be appended to an existing table as a new column in RockWorks.
The following are the steps to import from an AGL file.
