Importing FAB-DIS data from the ETIM and Media tabs of an Excel file is available in an IIEP via the FAB-DIS Importer processing engine. For more information and prerequisites, refer to the FAB-DIS Import Format topic.
Important: Before an import of FAB-DIS data can be successful from the workbench or Web UI, the workbench configuration must be completed as defined in the FAB-DIS Import Workbench Configuration topic.
After completing the workbench configuration, FAB-DIS files can be processed using the Web UI File Loading Widget. This allows users to import FAB-DIS data without using workbench.
- In workbench, note the FAB-DIS IIEP created in the previous configuration section. This IIEP will be selected and used by the File Loading widget.
- In the Web UI, add a File Loading Widget to your homepage, as defined in the File Loading Widget topic of the Web User Interfaces documentation.
- Choose a method to invoke the IIEP:
- Drag-and-drop one or more FAB-DIS files onto the widget.
- Click the 'Select File' button and choose the file(s).
The file(s) are immediately processed by the configured IIEP.
- Monitor the background processes generated by the import using a Background Processes List Screen. For more information, refer to the Background Process List Screen topic of the Web User Interfaces documentation.
