Export or Import Data Flags to or from CSV

You can export flag data to a CSV file and import it from a CSV file.

Export Data Flags

To export flags to a CSV file

  1. Select File Database settings User defined flags.
  2. Click the Export button on the User Defined Flags dialog. A standard File Save dialog is displayed.
  3. Choose where to save your flag data and click Save.

Import Data Flags

To import data flags stored in a CSV file

  1. Select File Database settings User defined flags.
  2. Click the Import button on the User Defined Flags dialog. A standard File Open dialog is displayed.
  3. Select the file containing your flag data and click Open.

If a flag in the CSV file has the same name as a flag already in InfoWorks WS Pro, the imported flag will overwrite the existing flag.

To create a CSV file containing flags that can subsequently be imported, the file must have the correct format. The importer recognises the file as a flag file if it has the correct column headers in the first line. The colour value (fourth element in each line) is an RGB value.
