Data Manager Import from Microsoft Excel

The Excel Import dialog box displays when you use Data Manager to import data from Excel and you accept all changes that affect multiple drawings. You can view the import progress and warning messages when some affected drawings are checked out or cannot be updated. Click Update to check out all affected drawings, import data from Excel to Data Manager, and update affected drawings.

Note: The import progress displays only when the update affects multiple drawings.

Once the import is completed, you can check the log file to view the update details.

For collaboration and vault projects, it allows data exchange during Data Manager import. All the updated drawings will be checked out until the project drawing update is finished. Manually checking in the updated drawings allows you to synchronize the changes into the collaboration or vault server.
