The Inputs to 1View are extracts of your data in any form that is most convenient for each source.

Inputs can be automatically processed at regular intervals or provided once-off.

Upon receipt, Data is loaded and transformed at rates exceeding 5 Million rows per hour and there is no limit on how many files can be processed.

Each file needs to be in a 'tabular' or 'fixed width' form. Column headings are useful, but not mandatory.

Provided any date field complies with one of a range of date formats, all dates are automatically standardised. Numeric and decimal fields are also automatically identified.

Options exist to derive fields from other inputs or subsets/combinations of other fields.

For complex bespoke conditions, it is possible to add specific rules to convert the data should there be specific requirements not catered for through the user interface.

Inputs can be in the form of a transaction file (need to accumulate the data records), a 'masterfile' (it is a full set each time), or a file of records for individual update.
