References import
This file defines how PDXpert adds reference items to their parent items.
Each row in the import file represents a pending item—a part or document record—and a single pending or released child reference. The row can also specify a note on how the child item applies to the parent. The same child item may be used on more than one row of the parent's Referenceslist.
This file is used to add items to the first pending iterationof a part or a document. Do not import data onto any parent item that has a released or canceled iteration.
For important rules that affect this import, see theIteration-level relational imports help topic.
If a pending parent item has an existing list, the parent item's entire previous list is deleted and is completely replaced by the new list.
A row is rejected if it contains invalid child items, as specified by theReferences Tabs system rule for its parent item.
The Batch Importer tool can generate a CSV template file, which can be used to import your data. Select List: References from the dropdown list, click theExport button, and save the file to a convenient location.
