You can import user types from an XML file and the imported user types replace the
existing user types, if any. However, be aware that you can import only the file that is
exported from the same major version of Oracle Field Service. For example, if
you are using Update 20D SU16, you can import a file that was exported from any release of
Update 20D.
- Click .
- Click Browse and choose the XML
file that you want to import.
You can import only XML files.
- Click Validate.
If you have selected a file of any other format other
than XML, an error message appears. If you have selected an XML file,
the application checks to ensure that its entities (such as resource
types, permissions, and context layout items) are valid.
Note: You
cannot import your own user type. Your user type must be imported
by a user of a different user type. For example, if your user type
is Admin1, you cannot import it. You can create another user type
Admin2, and Admin2 can import Admin1.
During
the import process, a progress window displays this information:
The number in the Import column means
that the number of imported items differs from the number of validated
items.
A green check mark means that the number of validated items
is identical to the number of imported items.
The
User type import details window displays
the details of all successfully imported user types, user types imported
with warnings, and user types that were not imported. Validation messages
are as follows:
