# Functional Requirement FR-002: Data Import and Export

## Description

The system shall provide functionality for importing and exporting data related to mining projects and scenarios. Users should be able to easily transfer data between the system and external sources, such as spreadsheets or databases, to facilitate data analysis and reporting.

## Rationale

Data import and export capabilities are essential for integrating the system with other tools and workflows used by mining professionals. By enabling seamless data exchange, the system enhances its usability and supports a wider range of analytical tasks.

## Acceptance Criteria

- Users can import project and scenario data from common file formats (e.g., CSV, Excel).
- Users can export project and scenario data to common file formats (e.g., CSV, Excel).
- The system validates imported data for completeness and correctness before processing.
- Users can map external data fields to internal system fields during the import process.
- The system provides clear error messages and guidance for resolving import/export issues.
- Users can schedule regular data exports to automate reporting tasks.

## Dependencies

- Integration with data storage systems to facilitate data import/export operations.
- User interface components for file selection and data mapping during import/export.
- Data validation libraries to ensure the quality and integrity of imported data.
- Integration with other functional requirements, such as scenario management and reporting features.
