Overwrite Rules
You can overwrite the actions for individual work items. Use the following controls:
• In the center pane, before every work item, click the switch to toggle import (Import into current tracker or Ignore). If switched off, the section is not available and this work item will not be imported.
• In the center pane after the summary, click the context menu to show all the actions that you can set in a rule.
• In the left section, the tree also has a context menu with the actions, use right click mouse button on a work item to open the context menu.
If rules have been applied previously and you try to set actions for individual work item, you get a warning that it can, overwrite the set rule actions. A similar warning appears if you set actions for work items individually, and then you apply some rules.
Rules Example
Consider that we have a document with Tasks, Requirements, and Test Cases. We would like to import all items into the Task tracker, except:
• If one of the items’ description contains a “should have” or “must have “expression, then this item should be imported into the Customer Requirements Specifications tracker.
• If an item contains a test case expression as whole word (in the summary or description) in the Transmission section of the document, then that item should be imported into the Test Cases tracker.
Start import from the tasks tracker, upload the document and then click Next. Now you can see the preview screen and can set the rules.
The first rule must be the default rule:

Click the Preview button. The Statistics box shows how many items will be imported into which tracker. You can check also in the center pane which item will be imported and into which tracker.
Click Save to import items.
