Import Preferences
A file to be imported has been added to the roundtrip configuration. A connection to the RE/RM database is established.
The Windchill Requirements Connector allows the creation of attributes that are missing in the database (given the necessary access rights). The option can be found via Window > Preferences > Windchill Requirements Connector > Windchill RV&S Mapping. The setting is deselected by default.
Allow attribute creation
If Allow attribute creationis deselected on the Preferences page or if you do not have the necessary access rights to change the data model, it is possible to map the data from the import file to the existing attributes in the data model. The Windchill Requirements Connector will inform the user about any missing mapping.

3. If you have chosen an enumeration select for each literal within the enumeration a corresponding value.

5. Proceed with all attributes that need mapping to finish preparation for the import.
Attribute Mapping
 | Please note, that only those attributes will be shown for mapping that have a matching type within the given context of the selected document type. |
The mapping is stored and reused during export automatically. After defining the mapping you will not be able to change it during your running exchange. This will only be possible if additional data is included or attributes change on your exchange partner’s side.
