Launch the Import Wizard from either the Requirements tab or Specification tab of the Application Profile landing page by selecting the > Import From Excel option. In this three step wizard, you specify the location of an Excel file defining requirements or specifications, resolve any conflicts or errors detected by the system, and import the file.
To avoid common errors, verify the following before using the wizard:
- You have an Excel spreadsheet on your local system that defines requirements or specifications.
- All required fields (columns) are populated.
- There is an unlocked ruleset version associated with the current application; this is where new specifications and requirements will be created.
- Existing specifications and requirements corresponding to rows in the spreadsheet are checked in.
- Each row in the spreadsheet specifies an application name that is in your current application stack.
Upload a file
- Once the wizard is launched, click Browse... or Choose File.
- Specify the location of the Excel spreadsheet (it must be in .xlsx or .xls format).
- Click the Next button or the Review Contents link in the header to progress the wizard to Step 2.
- If an error is thrown, such as an invalid file type, investigate if other available options on the wizard can assist you.
Other available options
- Click the Download a template button save a blank Excel file to your local system. You can then define new requirements and specifications by adding new rows to the spreadsheet.
- Click the Export existing... button to download an Excel file containing existing requirements or specifications. You can then edit existing rows or add new ones to the spreadsheet.
