When importing data to an existing spec, the software can overwrite existing data.
To prevent all automated overwriting of existing specification data, in the Preferences dialog, under Data copying options, select Copy without overwriting existing data. Also, in the Spec Data Dictionary, you can set fields as unavailable for editing in the form data template or in specs
based on the current form.
-
Open a specification in the specifications module.
-
Select Actions> Import Data.
-
In the Open File dialog, select the source .isf file.
-
Select Open to import the data from the source file to the specification.
If the imported data includes manufacturers and models that do not appear in the
Instrument Manufacturer or Instrument Model supporting tables, the software automatically
adds them during the import process.
-
Edit the specification as necessary and then select
to save the changes.
