Import field mapping
When you import files, the Import Field Map dialog opens when importing IFC files and if there are fields in an XML or Excel file that do not match with those in Tekla PowerFab.
The dialog allows you to configure how data in the import file is mapped into the standard data fields within Tekla PowerFab.
Import Type: Description of the import file source. You have Tekla PowerFab Standard Fields by default.
Object, Category: Definitions of the data in an IFC file. These columns are not displayed in a Production Control import by default.
Import Field: The field containing data in the file being imported
Example Data: The values in the field being imported
Tekla PowerFab Field: The field to which the value will import in Tekla PowerFab
Set Field Mapping: Button for setting the mapping
Manage import types
The import is completed.
You can also set regular expressions to data. Expressions are only enabled for time-tracking imports. See Regular expressions.
