Importing Sample Objects

SDL provides a number of sample objects that you can import into your WorldServer instance. Among these samples are:

Workflows for quote approval processing, term validation, and asset translation.
Filter configurations.
User types for typical term browsing operations.

To import these samples, do the following:

Go to Management > Administration > Import Objects - Step 1 of 2 , browse to the XML file of the sample you want, and click Upload File.
The samples are located in the samples\deployment directory of your WorldServer installation. For example, if your installation is in C:\Program Files and you want to import the Quote Approval Process workflows, you would browser to C:\Program Files\Idiom\WorldServer\samples\deployment\workflows\quote_processing_workflows.xml.
The importer lists the Primary Objects Found, and you can check the ones that you want to import. After selecting the ones you want, click Next.
The importer lists the Objects to Be Imported for your confirmation. Click Import to import them.

A confirmation page displays the objects imported, and they appear in the appropriate list for them in WorldServer. For example, if you imported the term browser user types, they will appear now in the Management > User Setup > User Types page and you can use them.

Note: Some of the sample objects that you can import have dependencies on certain SDK sample objects having already been uploaded. For example, the "Advanced Quote Approval Process Workflow" depends on the "Set Quote Status " automatic action sample having already been uploaded. If you try to import the "Advanced Quote Approval Process Workflow" object before you upload the "Set Quote Status " automatic action sample, the import will fail, and will tell you which object needs to be in place already. For instructions on uploading SDK samples, see Uploading the WorldServer SDK Samples.
