Importing Infoselect

dmahling · #1 07-19-2010, 10:40 AM

When I loaded the trial for UR 4.1 I thought I read that 4.1 will do Infoselect imports. Now I cant find how to do that anymore, it's certainly not an option on the IMPORT menu.

Also: does it import both wd, wd2, and wd3 files.

Hi,
When I followed this procedure, UR wound up doing a "flat" import. That is, it imported each item in the data base each item in the data base as a text item, but in the Data Explorer window it named each text item with the first line of text in the item rather than preserving the Info Select tree structure.

That is if I had an Info Select item named "Today" and the text said "buy milk", UR would import it with the Data Explorer window name "buy milk" rather than "Today".

Is there any was to fix this?

UR does import what IS exports in my tests (IS does not export hierarchy information). I exported Overview.wd3, which generated the attached txt file. I then imported into UR, which create the attached urd file. The item titles in UR match the titles in IS, and the item text in UR includes the detail text of the item shown in IS.

OK. So should it work the same with a .wd2 file? I am using IS 8.00.23

I would think so, if it exports a txt file in the same format as attached above.
