5               Import Data Sheet

You can use the assistant Import Data Sheet to import changed data sheets, i.e. the data contained therein to a project. If the data sheet contains changed attribute values, these are then entered in the corresponding object attributes.

Data sheets which were exported from another project can also be imported.

A change of the object attributes is executed only if the data structure matches the destination project because also the source object is stored in the EXCE file.

To run the assistant Import Data Sheet:

1.      In the Engineering Base Explorer, select the project to which you want to import the data sheets.

2.      On the context menu, select Import Data Sheet or click Select Assistant and then select the assistant Import Data Sheet.

The File Selection dialog is displayed.

3.      Select one or several data sheets which are to be imported. By double-click or a click on the Open button the import is started.

Prior to the import, a check whether the destination project correspond to the project from which the data sheet was imported is made. If this is not the case, a message is displayed.

When the import is completed, a corresponding message is issued.
