Import a Model

You can import a model created in another Insight instance from an archive.

Insight Administrators, Business Users/Analysts, and Integration Architects can import models.

Limitations:

When you import a model from an archive, alerts and custom dashboards defined for the model are not included in the archive:
  • You must redefine alerts in the imported model.
  • You can import custom dashboards after the model is imported and activated. See Import Dashboards.

To import a model created in another Insight instance:

  1. On the Models page, click Import to open the Import Model dialog.
  2. Click Choose File to browse to and select an archive zip file of a previously exported model that you want to import.

    Import Model dialog with archive zip selected
  3. (Optional) Select Overwrite Any Existing Drafts if you want to overwrite an existing draft model of the same name with the model being imported.
  4. Click Import.
    The model is imported in a Draft status.

    Note:

    See What to Expect When You Import a Model Where the Unique Instance Identifier Is Mapped to Multiple Integrations for additional information if you are importing a model from an earlier version of Insight where the unique instance identifier is mapped to multiple integrations.

    A confirmation message is displayed at the top of the page.

What to Expect When You Import a Model Where the Unique Instance Identifier Is Mapped to Multiple Integrations

New milestones may be automatically created when you import a model where the unique instance identifier is mapped to more than one integration (which was supported in earlier versions of Insight).

When you edit an imported model created with a previous version of Insight where the unique instance identifier is mapped to multiple integrations, the integration actions that are mapped to are examined to determine if a milestone mapped to the same action exists in your model. If Insight finds a match, the unique instance identifier is associated to the milestone that is mapped to the same action.

If Insight does not find matching milestone mappings, a new milestone is created for each unmatched unique instance identifier association.

You must either rename the new milestones or associate the mappings with appropriate milestones that already exist in your model.

Note:

The milestone is created only when you attempt to edit an imported model. You can activate the imported model without editing it. It will continue to function as it did previously.
