usage: wfimport [-keepOld [yes|no]] <workflow configuration> <export file> [workflow configuration password]


This command updates the specified workflow configuration by importing workflows that are defined in the export file.

Example - wfimport

The workflow configuration Default.disk_collection workflow configuration is updated with with imported data from the file wf_disk_collection.csv.

$ wfimport Default.disk_collection wf_disk_collection.csv

Note!

wfimport and the right-click command Import Table are different. If the workflow configuration consists of several workflows, and wf_disk_collection.csv contains a single workflow configuration data, only one workflow is included in the Workflow Table after wfimport. To avoid losing your configurations when importing, use the right-click command Import Table in the Workflow Table.

For further information see Import Table in the Desktop User's Guide.
