Importing Metadata from Excel

You can use the Import XLS tool to import metadata directly from an Excel spreadsheet into any table of the current FDM database. Therefore, you can import large amounts of application information without entering each line manually in the Web client setup grids.

  To import metadata from Excel spreadsheets:

  1. From Workbench or the Web client, select Tools > Import XLS.

    The Import XLS dialog box is displayed.

  2. Browse to locate and select an Excel spreadsheet.

  3. Click Open.

Note:

Uploaded Excel files should be MS Office 2002-2003 (.xls) format compliant.
