   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 you as you perform the import.

   A progress window is then displayed.

   

   The import process checks to see if the selected templates already exist in the project. If any existing templates are found a message is displayed. For example:

   

   • Click Yes to overwrite the existing template.

     The message will re-appear each time the import process finds an existing template.

   • Click No to prevent the import process overwriting the existing template.

     The message will re-appear each time the import process finds an existing template.

   • Click Yes To All to overwrite all the existing templates.

     The message will not re-appear each time the import process finds an existing template.

   • Click No To All to prevent the import process overwriting the existing templates.

   Files with a Template Filename will be imported, but if the import process cannot find the template files themselves, a message is displayed informing you that the template files are not found.

   The message will re-appear each time the import process cannot find a template file.

8. After the import process is complete the Import Log window is displayed.
