12.1.4.3.1 Import BPMN Content

Follow the steps below to import data from an outside EPC environment. The format of the data file must be .bpmn

*NOTE: Users are now able to import from EPC, Visio and BPMN.

1. From the WebApp Toolbar, select the three dots > Import

2. Select BPMN (.bpmn) and click Browse to select the file.

3. The file you have selected will appear.

4. Select a destination for the file

4a) Type to find the process you wish
4b) Use the tree selector to find its location

5. If the import file contains published objects sets, then you will be asked if you want to overwrite and replace duplicates. Select Overwrite to combine duplicate objects in your environment. If you do not select Overwrite, then any duplicate objects already present in your current EPC Environment will not be imported.

*NOTE: Duplicate EPC objects must have the same object ID (a unique number assigned automatically when the object is created) and originate from the same EPC environment.

6. You will also be asked if you want to publish upon import.

Both questions can be asked simultaneously:

7. Once you have selected what you wanted, click on Finish.

8. You will receive a confirmation when the import is complete.
