If you use ProShop to manage your shop, you will be excited to hear that GroundControl integrates with ProShop.

Once you have completed your FAIR in GroundControl and it is ready to be exported, you will find an option specifically for exporting to ProShop.

This option will export a spreadsheet containing your FAIR formatted for ProShop.

To import your FAIR into ProShop, go the to "Parts" menu in ProShop, and click "Launch CSV"

Then, click the "CHOOSE FILES" button, or drag & drop your ProShop export into the upload field.

Once your file has been uploaded, make sure to select the correct option when including your data. The "Merge (Append)" option will ADD any new data to the end of existing data where present. The "Merge (Overwrite)" option will DELETE and OVERWRITE existing data if there is any new data for a corresponding field. The "Overwrite Records" option will delete everything in that part record before importing the new data. In general, this option should be avoided.

Once your data has been read and uploaded, you simply match your "ProShop Attributes" to any red highlighted headers in the "CSV Data window", ensuring your information finds its appropriate destination.

Once you've finished this, hit "Continue", and then "Continue" once more in the "Complete Data Upload" window once you're sure everything is correct.

Dimension Sync

When you sync dimensions to ProShop, GroundControl now builds the data sent over directly from your inspection's own records, so what ProShop receives always matches what's actually in your report. You don't need to do anything differently since this happens automatically in the background whenever you sync.

Seeing Missing Characteristic Numbers

If a characteristic is missing its Char # while an Op # is set, GroundControl will flag it for you before syncing, so you can fix it rather than finding out about a sync problem after the fact.

Staying in Sync After Linking or Unlinking

The part link status shown in your inspection now refreshes automatically after you link or unlink a part, and after a sync completes. You'll always see the current, authoritative link state rather than a stale view.
