Using the Map Properties Dialog Box
This dialog box allows you to change the mapping between properties in a file that is being imported and the properties in the project. This allows you to (for example) change the type of the property from integer to real, and to map one activity property to another.
You can save property mappings in a file, and load them again, which allows you to use different mappings in different situations.
Map Properties Dialog Box Features
- Mapping table
-
Specify the mapping between the property name in the input file (From column) and the property name in the project (To column). To change the project property to which a property in the file is mapped, you can select the row for the file property, and either choose a property with the Properties tools, or edit the table cell in the To column.
If you want to choose the properties to import, you can use the Import column to make your selection. When you deselect a property, the value in the To column is hidden, and the property selection tools are not available when the row for the property is selected.
- Properties tools
-
Choose a property to replace the property in the To column of the selected row in the Mapping table. The list shows the properties that are in the current project. You can use the standard property selection tools to organize the list.
- Save button
-
Save the current mapping of properties to a file (
.propmap), so the mapping can be loaded and reused. - Load button
-
Load a property mapping from a file (
.propmap) that was previously saved.
