1.9 The import functions

The import function enables both the import of product data as well as projects. You can
retrieve this function from different places in ETS. This can be done via the “Quick
Actions” bar on the dashboard and in the Projects and Catalogs tabs via the Import...
button. You can also retrieve the import function at any time when working in the project
design view of ETS by selecting the Import… button in the Catalogs window.
