Importing Members from Clipboard

Administrator
This manual is in pilot operation.

To import member configuration data for User Defined Members from a Microsoft Excel sheet via the clipboard into a Dimension, log in to [Manager] as a Designer and select the target application. Then follow these steps to import:

Members can be imported from either the Dimension (Design) Panel or the Dimension (Maintenance) Panel. However, when importing from the latter, only User Defined Member configurations will be imported.
To include Template Members in the import, use the Dimension (Design) Panel.
This section introduces the procedure for importing using the Dimension (Maintenance) Panel.

  1. Select the dimension to configure and display the Dimension (Maintenance) Panel (for steps, refer to Viewing Dimensions).

  2. In the Excel sheet containing the data to import, select the relevant range and press Ctrl+C. You may also use Excel’s menu and select Edit(E)  Copy(C) or similar options.

  3. Click the From Clipboard button at the bottom-right of the screen.

    A "Processing Status" dialog box will appear, and after some time, the import process will complete.

  4. After the import is complete, click the Save button to save the configuration.

If errors occur during import, they will be displayed in the Processing Status screen. Even if errors occur, as many updates and registrations as possible will be applied. After the process completes, you can manually correct the members and save them, or discard the changes (using the Retrieve button), modify the import data, and re-import.
Errors may also occur during saving, even if there are no errors during import. This is because stricter checks are performed during saving than during registration or modification. If you want to validate the data before saving, click the Validate button at the bottom-right of the screen.
