Import multiple displays using an XML batch file
When you select the batch file import option in the Import File Type dialog box, this dialog box opens. You complete the import specifications in this dialog box.
To import a batch file modifying multiple graphics displays
- Click the Browse button to navigate to the batch XML file you want to import.
- Select the file and click Open. The selected file name appears in the text box in the Multiple Import File dialog box.
- Specify whether to create new objects on the display or update existing objects.
- Click Finish to complete the import. A progress bar with a Cancel button monitors the import process.
Tip: |
- You cannot create new objects and update existing objects with the same file import.
- If a display is open, the import for that display cannot occur.
- Cancelling during import does not return the displays to their previous state. If you cancel the operation before it is completed, any changes that have already been made to the displays will be retained.
- If any of the files to be imported contain any characters other than English, be sure the file is saved in UTF-8 format before importing.
- PanelView Plus 7 Standard applications have a limit of 100 displays (50 On Top displays and 50 Replace displays). Compact Machine Edition applications (applications running on PanelView Plus 6 Compact or PanelView Plus Compact terminals) have a limit of 25 displays. If a batch file with more displays than the limit is imported into a PanelView Plus 7 Standard application, or a Compact Machine Edition application, displays will only be imported up to the supported limit. Additional displays will not be imported.
