Import

Available in: Repository work area > Ribbon > Output > Export/Import

The Import function enables you to import data into the Repository work area.

Please note: You can only import data that was previously exported from an ELO repository.

Source

Select: Click the Select button next to the Source field to choose a source for the import. The source must be a ZIP file.

Import target

Define an import target in ELO. You can either select a new target in ELO or copy the old filing location from the export data set.

Select: Click the Select button next to the Import target field to select an import target in ELO.

Apply from export data set: If you select the Apply from export data set option, the data set imported will retain the structure it had when you exported it. The respective structure is displayed next to the option.

Method

The following methods are available for handling GUIDs:

Information: A globally unique identifier (GUID) is a number with 128 bits used for the unique identification of documents and folders in ELO on distributed computer systems.

Check GUIDs: When importing the data set, the GUIDs are compared with the GUIDs in ELO. The following options are available if there are identical GUIDs:

  • Reassign GUID: Entries that have an existing GUID in ELO are imported with new GUIDs. This allows you to create duplicates.
  • Do not import: Entries that have an existing GUID in ELO are not imported.
  • File as new version: Entries that already have a GUID in ELO are imported as a new version of the corresponding entries.

Reassign GUIDs of all entries: ELO does not check whether GUIDs already exist during import. All entries from the import data set are assigned new GUIDs. This allows you to create duplicates.

Options

Keep filing date: Select the Keep filing date option to retain the filing date.

Import keyword list: This option allows you to import keyword lists from the data set.

Re-encrypt documents: If you select the Re-encrypt documents option, a list of the found encryption keys appears. To import entries with an encryption key in encrypted form, enter the corresponding passwords. If you do not enter a password for an encryption key, entries in the corresponding encryption key will be imported unencrypted.

OK: Click OK to start the import.

Cancel: Click Cancel to cancel the action.
