The Import Utility allows you to import revision data into any document that has a document number. Therefore, your import source must contain a column with document numbers that already exist in Smart Instrumentation. When importing data, the Import Utility matches the source and target document numbers and imports the revision data into the appropriate document, be it a calculation or process data sheet, a spec, or any other document for which it is possible to define revisions in Smart Instrumentation.

In the database, revision data is stored in the REVISION table columns. There are two types of revision data fields: custom fields (REV_UDF columns) and non-custom (other than REV_UDF). Non-custom fields appear in Smart Instrumentation on the Revisions dialog and in document title block fields. You can import data to any of these fields. Custom fields do not appear in the Smart Instrumentation interface by default. You can add custom fields as additional revision fields when customizing title blocks in InfoMaker. You cannot import data into the REV_UDF fields. The required columns for import mapping are DWG_NAME (document number) and REV_NO (revision number).

If you assign an import link to the Single table import method and select the REVISION table, you can import revision data to any Smart Instrumentation document, if the target document and the import source have the same document number. If you assign an import link to the Module (multiple tables) import method, and select the Process Data or Specifications module, you need to define revision import options on the Link Properties dialog (General tab options for importing process data or calculation sheet revisions, or Specs tab for importing specification revisions).
