Importing documents during tender preparation
Once the document has been exported and modified you can import back into iSpec.
You can import the document in 3 different ways from the project overview page, directly from within the document or by email.
Option 1 Import from the project overview page
To import the document directly from the project overview page expand the documents section and click Import updates.
Once you select the document and click import you will get a pop up indicating the import was successful, all current settings in iSpec will be overwritten with the new settings from the spreadsheet.
During preparation phase the following settings will be imported back to iSpec
Option 2 Import directly from the document page
You can also import directly from the document page by selecting the Import button
If you would like to import more than one document you can choose the document from the drop down list.
Once the document is opened in iSpec you can then import your spreadsheet back into iSpec.
When the document is successfully imported you can refresh the document and see the changes.
When the document is initially exported iSpec creates a unique Project ID embedded in the document for each document exported, this is so iSpec knows which spreadsheet is imported to which document within iSpec. If you select the wrong document during import the import will fail and you will get the following error
The log will show the following error
