Using the Catalogue import feature

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

First, you should open the Catalogue to which you intend to import resource data. If that Catalogue does not exist yet, you have to create it.

 

Thereafter, you start the Catalogue import feature by selecting Catalogue import… in the Module pull-down menu of the Catalogue, as shown in the figure below. If no Catalogue is open, the command is greyed out and thereby not possible to select.

A list of all currently available templates dominates the dialogue. In the example shown in the figure above, only one template is available.

 

If you select one of the templates, information about that template is displayed in the upper part of the dialogue, as shown in the figure below.
