Use this procedure if you only want to import process data revisions. You can also set the software to create a calculation sheet and import calculation sheet revisions when importing process data revisions.

Before importing process data and calculation sheet revision, make sure that the tag numbers for which you want to import process data or calculation sheet revisions already exist in Smart Instrumentation.

  1. On the Link Definitions dialog, create an import link as follows:

    1. In the Link box, type a unique link name.

    2. Under Import method, select Module (multiple tables).

    3. Under Name of module or table, select Process Data.

    4. Complete the import link creation.

  2. On the General tab of the Link Properties dialog, select a combination of the following check boxes: Import revisions, Use custom drawing names, and Create calculation sheet. Use the following table as a guide to the check box selection combinations you can use and the data for which you need to define the links:

    2. Map the appropriate revision and document number (drawing name) fields by dragging the appropriate column names from the Source pane.

    If the source tags do not have process data cases, in the Case Name field, type '' (or '*' if the database platform is SQL Server).
