The Text Import Wizard can import various types of data as described in the tables below.

2D scatter points

This will create new scatter points in a new 2D scatter set. Optionally the imported points can be filtered using the filter options available by selecting the Filter Options button.

Data Set
Number
no
 Any number of steady-state or transient data sets can be imported. When importing transient data sets, a data set name and a time step must be specified for each transient column. Names and time steps are entered into the header row, separated by a vertical slash using the following format: "Name|Timestep". For example, "Dataset1|January 1, 1900". All time steps of a transient data set should be given the same name.

These examples can be copied and pasted into GMS.

Transient point data

This creates new time series curve data on existing feature points similar to the "Pumping data" option above. This option is more generic than the "Pumping data" option, however, because it will work with feature points of any type and any attribute (that can be transient) of that feature point. The imported data is matched to the existing points by name or by XY location. Data for more than one attribute can be imported at the same time. The attributes of the active coverage are listed as available fields that can be mapped.
