Import Configuration

Available Configuration Tools

This panel shows the configuration tools that are available to import from the selected file(s). Use the checkboxes to select the tools to import.

Some configuration tools can have other tools that are attached or related to them. For example, a profile can have related Peripherals, Repeating Values, Data Entry Layouts, etc. These will be identified with a notation showing the number of related tools that will also be imported. All tools that are related to the tool that is selected for import must also be imported; the related tools are designated with a light-gray check mark that cannot be removed.

Three actions are available when importing configuration tools:

•Import as New Record

•Use Existing Tool

•Replace Existing Tool

Selected Tool

Displays a read-only preview of the tool that is currently highlighted in the Available Configuration Tools panel. If any errors were detected in the file that was selected, they will be displayed in the Import Errors tab.

Replace Existing Tool

This action will replace an existing tool with the imported tool. It is selected by default, and is only available, when a tool with the same name and type but different settings already exists in the destination installation of P5.

Use Existing Tool

This action will use an existing tool in place of the imported tool. It is selected by default, and is only available, when a tool with the same name, type and settings already exists in the destination installation of P5.

Import as New Record

This action will import the tool as a new record and is selected by default when a tool with the same name and type does not exist in the destination installation of P5.
