Inventory Export supports export of data for FVS by writing out an FVS compatible SQLite database file. In order for to produce a valid FVS export, however, it is critical to use an export configuration file that maps between the Esri data model fields and the FVS expected fields. Successful creation of an export configuration file for FVS requires knowlege of FVS inputs and your Esri data model. To help support the creation of export configuration files, MB&G can provide example files that have been used by others for FVS data export.
When exporting data for FVS, use the appropriate export configuration file and check the box labeled Export for FVS (*.db).
This will produce a SQLite database suitable for use in the new version of FVS. The basic workflow for using FVS with the exported DB filethis file within FVS is outlined below:
