Import tool

Administration PageApplication/ContractSyracuse/CollaborationClass(none)RepresentationimportTool

The import tool allows you to import data in the administration repository and create a journal of the modifications that can be displayed with the Import session management.

This page can only be called with a working copy (no query or detail facet). Launching the page will allow you to enter parameters and to start the import task.

The format accepted for the import is the format used by the export tool.

File name

The file name has to be entered if the selected source is Server file.
