You can import production volumes into PHDwin from Excel or several standard file types from various data providers. When you do an import, it can be to update existing cases or add new cases. If you can download production data into one of the standard file types that are mapped up for PHDwin, the data imports automatically since the format is known and the import is pre-mapped for you.
