Import Workflow
The Import Workflow dialog box enables you to specify the name of the workflow that is imported and how to handle naming conflicts.
The default workflow name is the file name of the workflow. It may be necessary to:
-
Change the name slightly to avoid conflicts.
-
Edit the name so that it is a valid workflow name. The name of the new workflow must be unique in the new connection.
You must also select how to handle naming conflicts in names of workflow nodes and output tables. The default is Rename Model and Output Table names if necessary.
You can select Keep Existing Model and Output table names even if conflict exists.
If you select this option, then you must resolve any conflicts yourself.
To start the import, click OK.
