Importing the Plant Model Configuration

After you have exported your plant model configuration, you can use the workbook to import the configuration into another Plant Applications server. Importing can help minimize or eliminate tedious data entry of information that may already exist in another Plant Applications server. Additionally, you can create and export "template", such as variables, edit the worksheets and then import the edited worksheets into Plant Applications.

You must have Administrator access to the Administrator security group to import or export objects.

NOTE:  When importing multiple user-define events from Excel, an error occurs when UDEs have the same description as exported from the Plant Applications Administrator. Refer to Changing the Description to Import Multiple UDEs from Excel.

To import the plant model configuration

  1. Open the Excel workbook that contains the exported plant model objects.

  2. In the workbook, under the Selected column, place an X in the cell that corresponds to the object(s) you want to import.

  3. Log in to the Plant Applications Administrator.

  4. Right-click Plant Model and click Import Configuration.

  5. Click OK to complete the import and refresh the server.
