Import a ViewApp

You can import ViewApp to the Templates folder of the System Platform IDE. Exported ViewApps are saved in an aaPKG file.

During the import process, you have the choice to keep or overwrite any ViewApps with the same name currently in the Template folder with the imported ViewApps.

To import one or more ViewApps

1. Open the IDE and display the Templates pane.

2. Select the Galaxy ribbon, then select Import.

3. Select Objects, then From package.

   The Import Objects from package dialog box appears to specify the folder containing a ViewApp export file.

4. Go to the folder where the aaPKG file containing ViewApps is located.

5. Select the aaPKG file and click Open.

   The Import Preferences dialog box opens with options to import ViewApps. You cannot have two ViewApps with the same name or more than one copy of the same version of a profile in the same Galaxy. When you import a ViewApp, you can choose options from the Import Preferences dialog box to control how you want naming and version conflicts handled.

6. Click OK to import the ViewApps.

   A progress bar shows the ViewApps being imported into the Templates folder. After finishing the import, you should see the ViewApps in the list of Templates folder objects.
