Enable Debugging: Check this option to enable detailed logging of the import process. This is required in case TechnoSolutions Support need to analyze the import process. Enable this option only on request of TechnoSolutions Support.

Step 4. Choose the option for creating an Import Profile

For importing using other two options (Use a saved Import Profile and Load Import Profile from a file (*.xml)), refer to the article Using Import Records from Word Document Wizard.

Step 5. Define Rules for the Import Profile

Before you click Next, you can verify whether parser has correctly read your data using this option.

Show parser rule for this record: Click this option to display and highlight the rule for the selected record. This is useful if any record has NOT been imported by the parser, you can click this option and go to the corresponding parser rule and fix it.

Step 9. Specify Package Structures for Packages in the document (optional)

NOTE:

  • This page will NOT display if there are NO Package records in the parser rules.
  • During import, hierarchy rules of Package Structure are NOT enforced on the Packages. However, if a record hierarchy satisfies Package Structure hierarchy rules, corresponding Traceability Rules will be automatically applied.

Step 10. Save the newly created Import Profile (optional)
