Menu path: System > Export > Import Template Keys and Value Groups

You can import template keys and value groups. In order for this to be possible, the template keys which are to be imported must not yet exist in the UMS database. Each template key has a unique name which may only be used once in a UMS database.


To import template keys and value groups, proceed as follows:
  1. In the navigation tree, highlight the directory in which the template keys and value groups are to be placed.
    If you would like to import template keys and value groups in a single step, please note the following: If a directory below Template Keys is selected, the template keys will be placed in the selected directory and the value groups in the Value Groups directory. If a directory below Value Groups is selected, the value groups will be placed in the selected directory and the template keys in the Template Keys directory.
  2. Go to System > Import > Import Template Keys and roups.
  3. Select the file with the template keys and value groups and click on Open.
    The Template keys and value groups window will open.
  4. In the Import column, select the template keys and value groups that are to be imported.
  5. With the Create path relative to the directory currently selected option, specify whether the directory structure of the imported template keys and value groups is to be retained:

    The directory structure of the imported template keys and value groups will be retained, i.e. the exported subdirectories will be restored. (default)

    The directory structure of the imported template keys and value groups will be ignored, i.e. all template keys and value groups will be placed on the highest directory level.

  6. Click on OK.
    Once all template keys and value groups have been imported, a confirmation will be shown.
    If not all template keys and value groups could be imported, the template keys and value groups for which the import failed will be shown.
