TO import a map:

    The Import dialog appears.
  2. Open the IXIASOFT CCMS folder, and select Import Maps.
  3. Click Next.

    Note: As a result of selecting this option, several other features are set to default values and disabled.
  8. (Optional): To replace existing documents with the contents of the imported documents, select the Update existing documents checkbox. To also use the relative path to match the documents to update, select Use relative path along with file name to match documents to update.
    If you select Use relative path along with file name to match documents to update, you must specify the base path of the imported file in a later step.
  9. (Optional): In the Default language list, choose the language you want set for the file. If you want to overwrite the language attribute set in the imported file with the selected language, select the Override unknown languages with default checkbox as well.
  10. In the Images options section, choose the type of images in the Type list and the output format in the Format list for the images referenced in the document.
  11. (Optional): To assign a label, do the following:
    1. In the Labels section, click Select and add one or more labels.
    2. Click OK when done.

  13. (Optional): Select the Map IDs checkbox to keep the existing IDs.
    Clear the checkbox if you want new IDs assigned upon import.
  14. (Optional): Select the Topicrefs checkbox to remove the navtitle and type attributes from <topicref> elements that contain an href attribute upon import.
    Clear the checkbox if you do not want the attributes removed.
  15. (Optional): To import only one instance of images with the same filename, select the Images checkbox.
    Clear the checkbox if you want all images imported and assigned unique filenames.
  16. (Optional): To import only one instance of resources with the same filename, select the Resources checkbox.
    Clear the checkbox if you want all resources imported and assigned unique filenames.
  17. (Optional): In the Import base path box, type the base path to use when replacing existing documents.
    Important: If you selected Use relative path along with file name to match documents to update, you must specify the base path of the imported file in the Import base path box. This step is not optional.

    The base path of the imported file must match the base path of the object in the Content Store (originalRelativePath index).
