Import Data from Another Application

Use this procedure to import data from another application using the Import dialog box.

To import data from another application:

  1. In Open Plan Explorer, click General in the Import menu group of the Integration tab.
  2. In the Import dialog box, select the import specification to use and then click OK.
    You can also indicate whether or not Open Plan should update the selected open project with the imported data.
  3. In the Import File dialog box, select the source file for the operation and then click OK.
Note: If you have a project open when you issue the Import General command, Open Plan enables you to indicate if the imported data should be used to update the current project. If the project includes references to ancillary data files, you are prompted to name these files as well. Note, however, that whether or not the imported data overwrites existing records is determined by a parameter set in the import specification.
