    Importing a Primo Configuration

    The instructions for importing are the same for all deployment levels: Local, Direct, or Multi-tenant (without server access).
    If a configuration export was done for a specific institution, any installation-level configurations in use were also included in the export. For example, if a pipe uses normalization rules that belong to the installation level, they were included in the export. During the import, however, only new installation-level configuration are added; no existing configurations are replaced.
    Use an institution-level export configuration if you are importing a configuration for a specific institution.
    This tool is limited to the SuperAdmin and Admin roles.
    To export/import the Primo full configuration (not just the specific institution), follow the instructions in Exporting/Importing the Full Configuration.
    To import a Primo configuration:
    1. On the Tools Monitoring page, select Import Primo Configuration in the Create a Tool drop-down list.
      The Import Primo Configuration page opens.

      • File Name – Select the name of the export file to import. If there are no files matching the configuration you want to import, run the export before creating this tool.

    4. Execute the tool when needed. For information on monitoring tools, see Tools Monitoring.
