How You Update a Concept Structure Using the Oracle ADF Desktop Integration Tool

Let's learn how you can update a concept structure in an Excel spreadsheet using the Oracle ADF Desktop Integration tool.

Note: Download and install the ADFdi Excel client to exchange data directly between Microsoft Excel and Oracle Innovation Management.

To initiate the process of exporting the details of a concept structure to an Excel spreadsheet:

  1. Click the Edit in Spreadsheet option on the Actions menu of the Concept Design work area.

  2. To open the Excel file, sign in with your Innovation Management credentials. If you have previously signed into an Excel sheet and not signed out, then you're not prompted for your credentials when you open a newer Excel sheet.

  3. You can update concept and components data directly in the spreadsheet.

  4. After updating the concept and components data in the spreadsheet, click the Upload button. The cells that are successfully updated display their status in the Status column.
