Import a taxonomy from a TSV text file

The import taxonomy wizard lets you add one or more taxonomy files prepared outside IXIA CCMS into the Content Store.

Important: If you import an updated version of a taxonomy that already exists in IXIA CCMS, the imported taxonomy does not replace or update the existing one. The import process creates a new taxonomy from the imported taxonomy file.

Importing a taxonomy file is not recommended as a way to update existing taxonomies.

The taxonomy must be specified in a tab-separated values (TSVs) text file that reflects the structure of the taxonomy.
