In the Import from Excel Wizard, the option to overwrite can be selected so that modifications made in the Excel spreadsheet file may be imported back into EPC without creating duplicates. The table below describes overwrite scenarios for both the import of object and associated object identifiers.
*NOTE1: If you wish to overwrite with imported data, the identifier EPC Attribute must be aligned once per selected module in the Align Columns section.
NOTE2: In order to be overwritten, duplicate EPC objects must have the same Identifier.
