Importing a completed template

Once you have completed as many of the worksheets as you need, and have checked for, and fixed, any errors, you are ready to import it into LEGION Model Builder using the ‘Data Import Manager’.

Note: You must close the template before attempting to import it.

For a recap on the results of an import, see What happens in the LEGION Model Builder after import? .

To import a completed data spreadsheet:

Select Data > Data Import Manager.
Click the ‘Browse’ button next to the box labelled ‘File Selection’.
From the ‘Open’ dialog box, select the spreadsheet you want to import and click Open.
Click the Validate button to check and load the spreadsheet (this may take a minute or so, depending on the amount of data it contains).
Any errors will be highlighted in red and explained in the ‘Status’ portion of the dialog box. Fix any errors in the spreadsheet and then import it again by returning to step 2.
Click Import.
If the Model Start Time in your spreadsheet is different from the Model Start Time in the current model, you will receive a warning message with the following prompt: Would you like to update any existing data profiles to begin at the new imported start time?

Warning: You may lose data from existing profiles if you import a new Start Time but do not update existing profiles so that they fall within the new run time.
Click Yes to update the existing profiles or No to leave them unchanged.
The data import continues.
Any additional warnings generated by the import process will be displayed in the ‘Status’ area of the dialog box. You can either change the spreadsheet in line with the warnings or choose to proceed regardless.
Click OK to finalise the import.
