  2. Select a project from the drop-down list.

  3. Under Interface Process, select the Import option from the Type drop-down list.

  4. Fill in all other necessary fields. See Interface Conditioning Options for further details.

  5. Click on the run_button.jpgrunning man or select Tools » Run Interface to start the Import process.

  6. The interface performs an initial import information check:

  1. Is at least one import selected?

  2. Is the generated file a valid file?

  3. Is the project file name in the generated file the same as the project name in the interface criteria?

  4. Does data exist in the generated file for all selected imports?

The data from the generated file is imported into MPM and a Processing Report is created and can be viewed in the format selected in the Output Format conditioning option.
