Catalogue datasheets may be imported from another AVEVA Electrical project in a multi-project environment.
-
With the Datasheet Form Catalogue Grid open, click From Other Project in the Import section of the Manage tab to display the Select an AVEVA Electrical Project window. Using this window, select the project from which the catalogue datasheets are to be imported.
-
After selecting the project, the Catalogue Import window containing a list of all catalogue datasheets within that project is displayed:

Note:
To minimize the possibility that data currently being worked on by another user may be affected by an import, a list of the users working on the current project is available from the UserCount link. The number of current users is displayed next to the link. This total includes the user performing the import. -
Click the Select checkbox for those catalogue datasheets that are to be imported. Click Select All if all are to be imported.
-
Click Import.
-
The import then takes place. A progress window is displayed:

-
If a catalogue datasheet with the same name as one being imported already exists in the project database, a message is displayed. For example:

Click Yes to overwrite the datasheet in the target database or No to prevent this.
-
If a template file with the same file name as one being imported already exists in the project database, a message is displayed. For example:

Click Yes to overwrite the file in the target database or No to prevent this.
-
If a datasheet exists in the current database has been based on a catalogue datasheet with the same name as one being imported, a warning message is displayed:

Such catalogue datasheets will not be imported. Click OK to continue with the import.
-
AVEVA Electrical will copy the selected catalogue forms from the selected project to the current project including their DataLinks (Database field/cell mappings). Once the import is complete, all imported catalogue datasheets are added to the Datasheet Form Catalogue list.
