Creating Import definitions
An import definition is a termbase object that defines how to import a termbase. Using an import definition when importing means that you do not have to complete the wizard pages each time.
About this task
To open the Import Wizard and create an import definition:
Procedure
- In the Server tree, expand the termbase to which you want to add the new input model. Expand the appropriate access level (Public, Roles, Users) for the new input model.
- Select Input Models and select Add/Create from the Ribbon.
- Select Save import settings when closing the wizard box. If you do not select this, your chosen settings will not be saved.
- If you want the import to take place before the wizard closes, select Run import before closing the wizard. To just create the import definition and not import, de-select this box.
- Click Next.
- Enter a name and description for your import definition.
- Click Next.
- Select the XML file to import into the termbase.
- Select Fast Import (import file is full compliant with MultiTerm XML) if you do not want validation checks to be performed on the entries in the import file.
- Select Perform full reorganisation after import if you are usually experiencing problems after import, like unwanted duplicates or unfunctional fuzzy search. This option automatically rebuilds the indexes during import so that you will not need to do a full manual reorganization after the import. If you do not select this option, a much quicker soft reorganization is performed anyway to ensure basic functionality.
- If you want to apply a filter to the entries in the import file, select Apply Filter and choose a filter from the drop down list.
- Click Next.
- If you selected Fast Import, the Import Options page is displayed. Here you can define how to process entries during import.
- If you did not select Fast Import , the Validation Settings page is displayed.
- Proceed to the Advanced Import Options page.
