For importing data from other XML files select the Data | Import from XML file option from the menu.
The following items can be imported from another XML file:
| • | Import data |
| • | Import blockades |
1. Import data
Data import is usually used for merging different timetables from different files.
If you select Import data, the following window opens:
| • | Select the data which you want to import. For example: if you select courses, all data linked to courses will be selected automatically. |
| • | Then choose the XML file from which you want to import data. |
Words (for example lecturer's name and surname, room's name) must be spelled identically in different files. If they are not spelled identically, they are doubled in the merged file.
| • | If "enable merge" and merge ID are selected, you will be able to demerge files at a later stage. |
When you click the Import button, the data is imported and a window similar to the Conflicts screen is displayed. All overlays which appear due to merging are displayed on this screen.
You can correct the timetables in the merged file but only data from the basic file (the file to which data are imported) can be saved. It is advisable to demerge files and correct the timetables in the demerged files.
| • | If "enable merge" is not selected, the files cannot be demerged at a later stage. |
When you click the Import button, the data is imported and a window similar to the Conflicts screen is displayed. All overlays which appear in all merged files (not only due to merging) are displayed on this screen.
You can correct and save the timetables in the merged file.
2. Import blockades
If you select Import blockades, a new window in which you can choose from which file you want to import blockades opens.
