ATTRIBUTES that can be imported
Importing documents & images
Documents and images (also linked) can be imported to parts and tools. This is done by adding the source of the image, e.g. c:\images\hammer.jpg.
Multiple images can be imported by separating the link using a semi-colon (;) e.g. c:\images\hammer1.jpg;c:\images\hammer2.jpg
Importing and combining data
If you have a data-set including e.g. both process steps and their corresponding workstation where they are being executed, you can import it all by combining multiple imports
In the import wizard, use the (+) to add multiple imports - In the example below, we import a number of "processes" combined with "plants"
Below, note that we use the "workstation process execution usage", this is to link which WS that carries out the specific process steps.
