Hints To Assist You To Create a Valid XML File

1. A CSV (Comma Separated Value) can be either created in Excel or Access database and exported in CSV format. An example can be downloaded for reference here: createContext.csv
   
2. Click here to find the six columns to enter into the CSV file
3. If you don't wish to add Sections leave the last 2 columns blank. If this is done:
   • Column 1 is the Division Name
   • Column 2 is the Group Name
   • Column 3 is the Course ID
   • Column 4 is the Course Name
4. Hints on avoiding errors in creating XML
   
5. A global template allows you to link a style sheet to all sections. This can't be used if the section is already created. However it is very useful if the administrator wishes to impose an organisation-wide set of styles.
   
6. Comparison of Correct and Incorrect VISTA Learning Context

In the two examples shown above:

1. The Engineering and Arts Divisions both have the same OHS Course id. VISTA won't accept this, they must have a unique id!
2. Similarly with Health101.
3. In 'Fitting & machining' and 'Health & Safety' the '&' which has been replaced by 'and' in the XML file.
4. 'machines, rotating' is incorrect as it contains a comma. Corrected as 'rotating machines'.
