Data Store Model Import

Data can be exported from one Model (originating model In the context of data store exports and imports, the model that creates the data store export. and imported into another (receiving model In the context of data store exports and imports, the model that performs the data store import.). In order to import data from another model, you will need to perform a Data Store Export in another model (the originating model).

Once a data store export has been created:

From the Add menu, navigate the menu: From model data store export/<name of user>/<name of model>/<name of export>.
The details of the data will appear.
Select the Overlay that will be the destination of the incoming data. If this is not the first data to go into this overlay, and in order to avoid a conflict, type in a Layer Priority Adjustment.
If you want all newly created FO Instances to be automatically placed in Groups (Sub-groups of the Financial Object category), type in the group name you want to use.
Click Import Data into model.
All FO Instances from the originating model will be recreated in the receiving model In the context of data store exports and imports, the model that performs the data store import.. Subsequent imports of data will use the previously created FO Instances and add any new ones as needed.

Data can be exported from a model with one calendar and imported into a model with different calendar. The software will convert the data into daily values and proportionally spread the values to match the target model's calendar. For example, a model made up of 13 periods per year can transfer data to a model with 12 periods per year.

If the (originating model In the context of data store exports and imports, the model that creates the data store export., from which the data store is imported, has re-exported the data store, the Out-of-date Data Store alert will appear on the Help tab. The Warning: Out-of-date: data store data has been updated since the last time the data has been imported into this model message will also appear on the Data Store Imports's corresponding data store tab.

In order to update to the newest version, you can either click Editon Help tab or go directly to the particular data store tab, click Clear Data from Model and Import Data into Model after the previous data store has been removed.
