# Innova Data Bridge: Importing Compass Data
## 1.0 - Introduction
To maximise the value of your operational data, all information must be stored in a single database using a consistent format.
As different service companies use different systems, this data often needs to be converted and re-entered manually - a time-consuming process.
To streamline this, Innova now supports importing planning and operational data exported from **Landmarks Compass**.
This document explains how to import these files into the **Innova Suite**.
## 2.0 – Prerequisite Requirements
Before importing files, you must have:
* An Innova Server Database
* Access to Innova Vantage
* Login credentials to Innova Vantage which have Admin permissions
## 3.0 – Email Setup
Before importing files via email, your email address must be authorised in Innova Vantage.
1. Log in to **Innova Vantage** using an **Admin** account
2. Click the **burger menu** (top left)
3. Under **Database Admin Tools**, select **Data Bridge Settings**
4. Add the email addresses you will send import files *from*
5. For each, select the relevant import type from the dropdown list
If a file is sent *from an unregistered email address*, the import will fail.
## 4.0 – Landmark Compass Data
Landmark’s Compass planning data can be imported.
### 4.1 – Planning – Landmarks Compass EDM Files
Landmarks Compass exports a **single .edm** file.
