Import Order

If your Plant Applications configurations are in the same workbook, your configurations will be imported in the correct order. If your Plant Applications configurations are in separate workbooks, they must be imported in the correct order. This does not mean that all configurations have to be imported; it simply means that certain configurations must be imported before other configurations. For example, if you are importing a production line, and you have security assigned to the production line, you must import them in the following order:

  1. The users who are members of the security group assigned to the production line.

  2. The security group assigned to the production line.

  3. The production line.

If you try to import the production line without the other information, the import will fail. If you don't want to import the security groups and site users, delete the information in the Security User Groups column before you import.

IMPORTANT: Keep in mind that if you import the changed information back into the same Plant Applications server, the production lines will no longer have a security group assigned to them.
