12.1.4.1.1 Import EPC Content

Follow the steps below to import data from an outside EPC environment. The format of the data file must be .epc.

*NOTE: Users are now able to import from EPC, Visio and BPMN.

1. From the WebApp Toolbar, select the three dots > Import

2. Select EPC (.epc) and click Browse to select the file.

3. The file you have selected will appear.

4. If the import file contains published objects, you will be asked if you want to overwrite and replace duplicates. Select Overwrite to combine duplicate objects in your environment. If you do not select Overwrite, then any duplicate objects already present in your current EPC Environment will be duplicated.

*NOTE: Duplicate EPC objects must have the same object ID (a unique number assigned automatically when the object is created) and originate from the same EPC environment.

5. You will also be asked if you want to publish upon import.

Both questions can be asked simultaneously:

6.Once you have selected what you wanted, click on Finish.

7. You will receive a confirmation when the import is complete.

8. Once the import is complete, you will find all imported objects within their respective modules.

*Users can also import UDA’s and their content into the EPC.

Localization Import

EPC Import is supported for localized processes. Refer to localization for more information.

!When importing an EPC file that contains localized content, it is preferable to create the same localization values to ensure proper importing. For more information on localization values, refer to the localization tab.

When importing, the system will verify in the target environment if the same localization values that exist in the source environment is present. If not, the system will create new localization values and import the localized copies of processes accordingly.
