Looking at the Import options under "FILE" in Pro Scan I see an option to "Import Sentinel Database." I selected that and was able to highlight a state I wanted to import, but I don't see any buttons to finish the process. I searched the manual but didn't find any information.

Is this a feature that is being worked on or am I missing something?

Note, this is not to Import Data from the RRDB, but import the file from Sentinel.

The whole state can't be imported at the same time. One system at a time, just like Sentinel. To import a system: Select state then county then drill down to the system then right click on the system then click 'Append To Favorites List'.

The Sentinel import capability would be available even if the user is not currently a Premium Subscriber, and could be helpful for a Premium Subscriber if no internet service was available to do a 'normal' RRDB import. However, in effect, it still grabs all the sites on regional or statewide systems,without the option to selectively import only the sites desired. So, it apparently mimics the "append" process when creating a Favorites list, as opposed to the 'full selective" options available to Premium Subscribers using the main database.

Thanks. I didn't drill down far enough.

I don't think will allow me to do what I want, but I will play around with it.
