Purpose

Call

Structure

The DMN Import tool window consists of the following sections:

  • Determine storage location in the model

    You can define whether the DMN model elements are placed in the currently-selected or in a certain structure element of the model.

How to proceed

Set the options you want to reuse for DMN import in the DMN Import tool window.

Save the configuration in the DMN>Import>Configuration ribbon group as a user-defined configuration and add a suitable name in the dialog with  Save.

Check the successful import using the stored options.

  • If your import configuration requires it, then select the storage location in the model.

  • Select Import/Export>Import>DMN><User-Defined Configuration>. The standard dialog for selecting one or more import files appears.

  • Select the import files and click on Open.

  • Check the import result.

Open the Saved Configurations dialog with  Manage; you can provide the import configuration as a model-wide configuration for other users upon successful check.

Your user-defined and all model-wide configurations can be accessed in all models under Import/Export>Import>DMN.
