To import an analytic instance:

1. Unzip the packaged analytic instance into the directory of your choice—for example, c:\TEMP.

2. Read the importDirections.txt file for explicit details about how to import this analytic instance.

3. In PeopleSoft Application Designer, select Tools, and then Copy Project, and then From File.

4. Search for the project named <analytic instance><timestamp>.

   This project, which is the result of the export functionality, should be located in the c:\TEMP\<analytic instance> directory. For example, if the analytic instance is named ACEINST, the directory would be named something like c:\TEMP\ACEINST_20041113_015912.

5. Access the Create Analytic Instance page and create an analytic instance named <analytic instance>—for example, ACEINST.
