3.2 Loading Data & Repositories

Loading Data

SOURCE uses a “lazy loading” procedure to save time and memory. During the data import, you only import the data’s header information. To do any additional action, you must load the data. When the dataset is loaded, the status will turn to green.

To load the data you have to:

1. Select the desired dataset(s)
2. Right-click with the mouse on it
3. Select Load Data

Relocating Data

When re-opening a SOURCE project, the status of some datasets could be red. This happens when the location of the SOURCE file or the datasets has changed. Before performing any action, you must relocate the data.

To relocate the data you have to follow these steps:

1. Select the dataset
2. Right-click with the mouse on it
3. Select Relocate Data
4. Browse for the new data location
