Importing Microsoft Word (.docx) Files into Innoslate's Import Analyzer.
The Import Analyzer consists of three essential steps that users must follow to configure their DOCX import and accurately map their data into the Innoslate Schema.
- Configure Settings
- Upload a File
- Preview of Import
In the following sections, we will break down each step as noted above, providing clear and detailed instructions to assist you throughout the process.
Configure Settings
1. Open the ‘Import Analyzer' and select the ‘Word (.docx)’ tab.
2. Select the Document type you'd like the analyzer to use. The options provided are:
- Document (provides label option in step 3)
- Test Suite (does not provide label option from step 3)
- Compilation (does not provide label option from step 3)
- Presentation (does not provide label option from step 3)
- None (does not provide label option from step 3)
3. If you selected 'Document' in step 2, please choose an appropriate label for the document type in Documents View. New labels will appear if the schema has changed.
4. Select the default class of entities that will be created during the import. Type in the field for your desired class or scroll through the options available in the drop-down list.
5. Select 'Next'
Upload a File
6. Drag and drop your .docx file over the drop area, or click within the drop area to browse your computer’s file system to select the file to upload.
7. When your ‘Analyzer Progress’ bar reaches 100 percent, ‘Done,’ click the ‘Next’.
Preview of Import
8. Verify that the preview of the import is what you were expecting. Each row in the preview represents a single entity, while each column corresponds to specific mapping information as indicated by the respective column headers.
9. To finish the import process and save the entities to your current project’s database, click the ‘Save’ button. To go back, modify your text and try importing again, click the ‘< Prev’ button to return to the previous step in the process.
10. You will then be navigated to the Document in Documents View.
- Microsoft Word built-in styles, Heading 1 through 9, and autonumbered lists will be parsed as new entities using their original numbering whenever possible.
- Selecting the Statement class, Requirement class, or any of their subclasses as the default import class in the analyzer, the document will be imported as a requirements document. Upon a successful import, you will be redirected to Document View; otherwise you will be navigated to Database View.
- An Artifact entity will be created and added to the import containing the original uploaded file.
- If you encounter problems parsing your document, try adding heading styles to your document and/or removing the table of contents.
- If problems persist, try importing via the Plain Text tab of Import Analyzer.
