*Following the User Defined Attributes (UDA) per Environment feature, EPC differentiates Environment and System UDAs during the Import or Export process. This allows users to choose which attributes to export when exporting to EPC – Full Environment, EPC – Single Process or Process Set or Excel. Also, EPC does all the work by differentiating Environment and System UDAs when importing .epc or .xlsx files.
