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.
