You can use the Import Project Data window in the Smart Construction client to import project data, such as your schedule objects from Primavera P6 and project configuration objects, into your project. Using the Import Project Data window, you can select which CWPs and project configuration objects and relationships you want to create, edit, or remove in your project.

The Import Project Data window reads project data from template files in which you can specify data. The window can also directly integrate with your Primavera P6 schedule system.

For more information on configuring your project data for import, see Import Project Data into Smart Construction.

  1. Log on to Smart Construction as an administrator.

  2. Click Administration > Import Project Data.

  3. In the Import Project Data window, select a system name in the System Name box.

  4. Click Settings settings schedule import.

  5. Edit your project settings for the project data system, and then click OK.

    • Use the Browse dialog box to navigate to the Microsoft Excel workbook that contains the project data you want to load or the XML file that contains the Primavera schedule you want to load.

    • Confirm the schedule settings for your schedule system.

  6. Using the table in the Import Project Data window, select the objects from the file that you want to load into your Smart Construction database.

    • The grid displays the contents of the input source. If a Microsoft Excel workbook contains multiple sheets, each sheet appears in the window as a separate tab of the table.

    • For each item found in the input source, the Action column indicates which process is needed to synchronize the data file with the database.

    • Use the options in the Quick Selection pane for fast navigation and selection of your data.

  7. Select the check boxes by the items to be added to the database, modified in the database, or removed from the database.

    Select the check box in the Name column to apply all changes to the object. You can select individual check boxes for an object to apply specific changes to that object.

  8. Click Process.

  • This process creates a new SmartPlant Foundation design document and attaches an XML file that includes the content of the selected data file. The document name is [System Name]_[Service Name]. This document cannot be checked out. It is managed by Smart Construction and exists in the CURRENT state.

  • If your import project data file is large in size, you can configure IIS to process large file sizes. For more information, see Configure IIS to process large files.
