Importing a folder

In the tree view, select the parent folder where you want to import content.
Right-click and select Import from the context menu.
Select the file to import from the local drive; this must be a ZIP file that is created by exporting folder content from the Process Intelligence application.
The imported content is added as a subfolder to the selected folder.
As an administrator, you can also import a ZIP file as a main folder. This functionality is explained in the Infor Process Intelligence Administration Guide.

If duplicate content is found during import, a dialog is displayed indicating that you must select one of these options:

Merge: Imported BPMN Models and Processes Maps are added as a new version on top of existing models. Other content such as folders, registry entries, custom-attribute definitions is merged with existing content. Duplicate values are overwritten. Local content is not deleted.
Overwrite: Imported BPMN Models and Processes Maps are added as version 1 for existing models. Previous versions are removed. Other duplicate content is overwritten. Models and sub-folders from the local main folder that do not exist in the import file are removed. The registry content from the import file is merged with the local content.
Smart Merge: Imported BPMN Models and Processes Maps are added as a new version on top of existing models. Other duplicate content is merged with the local content, and duplicate values are overwritten. Models and sub-folders from the local main folder that do not exist in the import file are removed. The registry content from the import files is merged with the local content.
