Users will be asked to enter their
User ID
and
Password
after starting up the EI program. (See
Figure 1.1
)
Figure 1.1
If you are running EI with an Oracle database, this information must be entered, and it must be
valid, for the program to run. Otherwise, this information may be left blank. When you are
finished, click on OK. Upon logging into EI, the “
Command and Control
” screen of EI will
appear.
Importing data
from a spreadsheet is fast and easy, providing that the data supplied to the
program is in the prescribed format, based on Texas (TCEQ) data download standards. From the
Emissions Maintenance
menu, simply click on the
Import Emissions
. In the window that opens
(See
Figure 1.2
), enter the path and file name to the
Emissions Source File
, choose an account
number from the drop-down list, select a year to
import, and choose the
Import Option
at the bottom of the screen.
