How to Bulk Load Projects
- Set up a spread sheet with the ECFs you need to bring in. Before importing, you’ll need to make sure there are no issues with the data. Prep & save the spreadsheet.
- Select “Choose File” in the OneImport list. Select the spreadsheet and click on “Next.”
- Then select “Projects” and click “Next.”
- Click “Initialize’ and then click on “Next” when initialization is complete.
- Make sure the Internal Field Mapping looks correct and then Click on “Next.”
- Make sure Custom Field Mapping looks correct and click on “Next”. If the column names in your spreadsheet match up with the OOB and ECF columns, you will not have to make too many changes to the mappings.
- Click “Start” to start the Evaluation stage. OneImport will check for missing resources, lookup values, and special characters that cannot be used.
- If there are no issues with the data click next to begin the bulk project load.
