Hello Nevigo Forums.

I'm having problems while trying to import an Exported XLSX file.

-> While Exporting there's an option that I don't know what it does : "EXPORT CALCULATED STRIPS?" (Docs seems outdated http://www.nevigo.com/help/Exports_XLSX_Reimport.html)

Also changing the "ORDERING OF OBJECTS" Affects the importation ?

-> When Importing I got the following errors: ".. is not a know template name"

Can someone link or tell me where I can find an explanation on why this is happening ?


Thanks !

Hi zpr,

With the "export calculated strips?" option, you can specify if calculated strips from templates/features should be exported.
Calculation of those strips can require quite an amount of time depending how many exported objects have such strips in their template.
Since those values are calculated and therefor volatile, they only are good for informational purposes and are never re-imported.
So you might disable this option to get a faster export.

The ordering in the export does not affect the re-import, and should only help the editor of the file.

The most likely reason for the "... is not a known template name" error is, that you have tried to re-import the data into another project, where such references can't be resolved.
Even if you would have the template in the other project, importing to another project would lead to others errors because the same id in project 1 could be an entity but a flow fragment in the other depending on the time the object was created.
