Topic: Import Wizard and Vice County field

Today I imported a spreadsheet of records, via the Import Wizard, into R6.17.1.250, in which I included a column for vice county. This is included in the list of acceptable columns according to the Wizard Help document. I entered the VC number for each of the sites in the spreadsheet. The Wizard went through all the steps including the creation of new sites. On completion of the import, I expected to see an entry in the Geo Info/Administrative Areas tab. There was no entry - shouldn't there be?

Re: Import Wizard and Vice County field

Vice Counties in the Import Wizard pre-date the introduction of the Sample Admin Area and are intended to populate the Location in the sample. (the Location key not the Location name).  If there is no Location for the sample then the Location key for the Admin Area is used.  Personally, I find that not being able to import into into Sample Admin Area is especially annoying , but it isn't something which there has been any support for getting fixed.
