Generic import procedure

To import a file containing a specific entity:

  1. Open the menu by clicking the hamburger icon.
  2. Navigate to the entity page for the models you want to import.
  3. Click Import. A dialog box where you can locate and select the file opens.
  4. Select the file to import.
  5. If the import file contains entities that already exist in ION, you are asked whether to:
    • Skip the already existing models.

      If an entity already exists, it is not imported. Unique entities from the same file are imported normally.

    • Rename duplicated.

      If an entity already exists, the imported entity is renamed so it has a unique name. The name is created by adding the suffix _# to the original name, where # is a number starting from 1.

  6. Click OK. The entities from the file are imported.
    All imported entities can be customized in the target environment.
