Import a schedule

Use the
Import
 tab of the
Import Export Manager
 to import objects (instances) and parameter values from a schedule (xlsx). Verify that the correct database name displays in the ACM title bar before starting the import process.
TIP:
When importing objects (instances), a compatible library (class) must be registered in the ACM database.
The Catalog Number of the registered library must match the Catalog Number in the schedule and a Library with a revision greater than or equal to the revision in the schedule must be registered.
If a library with the same revision is registered, the library with the same revision is used.
If a library with the same revision is not registered and a library with a greater revision is registered, the newest library is used.
If you see an Excel sensitivity label error message while importing a schedule, open Excel and configure the sensitivity label. If the error message persists, contact your organization's IT department for assistance.
