Importing a Blueprint sample project
Importing a Blueprint sample project is a good way to become familiar with Blueprint and various customization capabilities that it offers. In addition to importing a sample project, you can also import Blueprint projects that have been exported from Blueprint or migrated from RC2010.
To import a sample Blueprint project:
-
Download the Sample Wyngs Airways Project from the Blueprint 8.3 help home page.
Note: Blueprint projects (including sample projects) are stored in a .zip file.
-
Open the Instance Administration Console.
-
Click the Projects link (or the Projects button on the ribbon).
-
Select the folder where you want to import the project and click Import Project.
-
Click the
button and select the Blueprint project. All Blueprint exported projects are in .zip file format. -
Click Next.
-
Specify a name for the project.
-
Click Import.
The project is scanned for any artifact property conflicts (for example, an incoming artifact type has the same name as an existing artifact type).
If project conflicts exist, review the resolutions provided, and make desired modifications before re-clicking Import:
- If there is an existing artifact type that is compatible with the incoming one, you can Replace with standard artifact type
- Otherwise, you can rename the incoming artifact and append "(Nonstandard)" to its name. This resolution is automatically selected if there is no existing compatible property.
When no conflicts exist, the project import job is placed in the Job Management queue, and the job number is displayed in the dialog. Click Close.
Note: The amount of time the queued project import job requires depends on the size of the project, and how busy the job queue is. You can monitor the progress of the job by checking notifications, or by using the Job Management window. Both of these features are accessible from the main Blueprint interface after closing the Instance Administration Console. (
