You know what would be cool? Something that let me relatively quickly import csv/xml/wtfe files from various parking companies into a management app. I'm thinking of one of two ways, or a hybrid.
1) We get the format from, say, the top ten park systems and automagically recognize them. This would involve some ongoing maintenance whenever they change their formats.
2) Parse through uploaded files, make a best guess at what each column represents (some would be easy, some harder), then present the user two groups:
a) we think these fields from the parked system map to these fields in ours; user could confirm or modify those as needed;
b) we aren't sure what these other fields are; please look for and pick a match from our list of fields
Option 2, we could maybe somehow programatically "learn" from the files as they were uploaded - once we have seen a few files from parking place XYZ, we can recognize new XYZ files going forward. As the user base grows, our database grows.
