Importing parameter lists

To import a parameter list:

  1. Select Design > Parameter Lists.
    The Parameter Lists page opens.
  2. Select the check box next to the parameter list to be duplicated.
  3. Click More Actions icon.
  4. In the pop-up window, click Browse to import a parameter list in an XML or ZIP file format.
  5. Click the Upload icon to upload the file.
    The Import Parameter Lists pop-up window opens.
  6. Provide a name for the action to help you track this task on the Tasks page and the Import/Export page.
  7. Select the Import All Parameter Lists check box to import all the parameter lists contained in the imported file or select specific parameter lists from the imported file. The search filters on this panel enable you to search for specific parameter lists.
  8. Select one of the following Duplicate Parameter List options if a parameter list with the same name already exists in IRC.
    • Create Copy:

      Select this option if you wish to create a copy of the parameter list in IRC. The parameter list will be displayed on the Parameter Lists home page with 'Copy-1' appended to it.

    • Keep Existing:

      Select this option if you want to retain the parameter list which is already existing in the application. The selected parameter list will not be imported but all additional parameters within that parameter list, if any, will be imported. For example, an existing parameter list in the application is PL1 with parameter P1. You now want to import another parameter list PL1 with parameters P1 and P2 by selecting the option 'Keep Existing'. In this case, the existing PL1 and P1 will be retained as it is but P2 will get imported.

      Note: The Keep Existing option applies to parameters as well as parameter lists.
    • Overwrite from Import file:

      Select this option if you want the existing parameter list to be overwritten with the selected parameter list in the imported file.

  9. Click Import.
