Import Group on the Metrics Tab

Use the import command to merge a metric template library into an existing workbook.

When you import a metric template library, Acumen performs the following actions:

• Metrics
  • Merges metrics based on the metric GUID (globally unique identifier). Imported metric definitions replace existing definitions if the metric already exists in Acumen.
  • Adds metrics that don't already exist in the current metric library.
  • Leaves existing metrics if they don't have an imported equivalent.
  • Adds variables and project variables that are in the file being imported that are not in the current metric library.
• Metric Folders
  • Merges metric folders based on the metric folder GUID. Imported folder definitions replace existing definitions if the folder already exists in Acumen.

    If the folder location is in a new location in the imported library, that new location is used.

  • Adds folders that don't already exist in the current metric library.
  • Retains existing folders if they don't have an imported equivalent.
