Importing Cross-reference tables

You can import cross-reference tables from one map to another. This enables you to create or revise a cross-reference table once and then copy it into other maps.

StepsImporting cross-reference tables from another map

  1. Select Utilities>Import Cross-Reference Tables.

    The Select Cross-Reference Tables to Import window displays

  2. Browse to the directory where the map you will be imported from resides.

  3. Double-click the directory and a list of cross-reference tables defined for that map displays.

  4. Check the tables you want to import and click Next.

    The Select Map for Table Import screen displays a list of your projects and maps.

  5. Open a project and select your destination map (where the tables will be imported to).

  6. Click Finish to import the tables. The import process runs.

    If the import table already exists in the destination map, a prompt displays asking if the import table should overwrite the current table. Click Yes to overwrite.

  7. When the window opens that indicates the process is complete, click OK to continue.

What to do next

You can begin working with your new map or you can do one of the following:

If you import a table to a map and the table did not exist previously, update the map to use the new table by linking it to the appropriate element or rule.
