Importing a project

You can import any project that has been exported using Blueprint, or the Blueprint migration tool. Learn more about project creation methods and what data is preserved when you import a project.

Important: When you import a project, a new Blueprint project is created. You cannot import a project into an existing project (that is, merge the projects).

To import a project:

1. Open the Instance Administration Console.

2. Click the Projects button on the ribbon.

3. Select the folder where you want to import the project and click Import Project.

   The Import Project option is available by:

   • clicking More Actions > Import Project on the ribbon
   • right-clicking the folder and selecting Import Project.

   After you click Import Project, the Import Project dialog appears.

4. Click the button and select the Blueprint project. All Blueprint exported projects are in .zip file format.

5. Click Next.

6. Specify a name for the project.

7. Click Import.

   Note: Please be patient. The import process can take an extended period of time, depending on the size of your project. If there is a problem with the import, an error message is displayed.

   When the import is complete, the project appears in the tree on the leftmost side and the project details appear on the rightmost side.
