Load a Data Capture file index - SmartPlant Foundation - IM Update 48 - Help - Hexagon

The Load Data Capture File Index command allows you to load file index information into the application. The Excel file used to add the file index items is based on a default template called FileIndexList. The SPFNFileIndexTemplateFile Excel spreadsheet is attached to this default template and contains the defined names for the file index information.

If you have added additional parameters in the Document Naming System module, then you need to manually add them to the Excel file.

This functionality allows bulk loading of the file index items into the application.

1. Click Administration > Load Data Capture File Index to open the Excel Import Wizard.

2. Click to find the file to load.

3. Click Finish to load the file index items.
