Import

Import is used to import application groups, unmanaged software queries, and known files from an XML file created with Export. Open the dialog from File → Import….

Items that already exist in the database are handled like this:

Item If it already exists
Application groups A group with the same name and version is not created again. The imported group queries and metering executables are added to the existing group, unless they conflict with existing ones.
Unmanaged Software A query that conflicts with an existing query is not imported.
Known files If a file with the same file name exists, its application name is replaced by the imported name.
