Submission Data Import screen with the Import link (1) selected on the left navigation pane.

Overwrite Datasets

The Overwrite Dataset feature allows a user to replace all or part of existing data within a specific dataset.

When a user is working within a dataset and chooses Import all or part of the data from another file, the Delete All Data option deletes all data associated with the [CDS Number] for the selected dataset including GL, Supplemental and Explanation data, Fiscal Year, Reporting Period, and Type of Data.

When a user imports data using the Delete Only option, selected forms (funds, supplementals, etc.) are imported.

Note: Options are based on selecting the Type of Import: Other or Official. Selecting Official allows only the Delete All data overwrite option. Selecting Other will provide the user with the option to overwrite only the forms being imported or Delete All data.
