5. Complete the file STpad_JointInspectionImportFile.xlsm to define the necessary inspection(s).

   When all the mandatory fields are filled in, the Wrong field column becomes green.

   The file STpad_JointInspectionImportFile.xlsm defines not only inspection(s), but also the linked joint(s). These are automatically imported on the device through the file STpad_JointInspectionImportFile.stpad.

   Check the Excel option for the workbook calculation. Open a Excel file and click File > Options. On left side of the Excel options dialog box, select Formulas > Automatic option for the Calculation options section.

   The file STpad_JointInspectionImportFile.stpad is automatically saved into the USB storage device.

   Only the STpad_JointInspectionImportFile.stpad can be correctly imported on the device (for more information about how to import inspections, see Import inspections).
