When importing a project list, no project can be open at the time. Multiple GaeaSynergy 4 projects can be imported by selecting File > Import > GaeaSynergy 4r Data > Project List. The Import wizard form below will then be displayed. This form will guide you through the steps of importing a list of projects.

 

 

Step 1. Select Project List File

 

 

The first step is to select the GaeaSynergy database containing the project list. This database is an Microsoft Access file named "gaeasynergy.mdb". If the GaeaSynergy 4 program was installed and used locally on the computer the file is normally stored in the "c:\Program Data\GAEAGaeaSynergy4\Databases" directory. If the GaeaSynergy 4 database was used across a network, the file will be stored on a network drive. After the file has been selected, press the Next button to continue.

 

 

Step 2 Select Projects

 

 

The next step is to select the projects to import. A list of projects will be displayed using the project list database specified in the previous step. Select the projects by clicking on the box next to the project. All of the projects can be selected and deselected by clicking on the Select All box. After the projects have been selected click the Next button.

 

 

Step 3 Resolve Project Conflicts

 

 

The next step is to resolve any conflicts with project numbers. This will happen when the project number of an imported project is the same as the project number of a project already in GaeaSynergy. These conflicts can be resolved either by specifying a different project number for the imported project or by not importing the project. After any project conflicts have been resolved, click the Next button to continue.

 

 

Step 4 Import Projects

 

 

After the projects have been imported they will be added to the project list.
