Title: CSV Partial CSV Import
Post by: Matthew Leach on August 13, 2008, 11:52:02 pm

I am using the CSV Import feature to pull in requirements from a spreadsheet. After setting everything up as outlined in the Requirements Management White Paper I am only getting a partial import.

What is happening is EA is creating each of the packages I have specified using the hierachy, but none of the requirements contained within the CSV file.

As anyone run into anything like this before? If so, how did you go about solving the problem?

Do you have a type filter set up? If you have a filter to only import Requirements then the other elements required to reconstruct the hierarchy won't be imported.

If you could send in a copy of your CSV file and a screenshot of your CSV specification to sparxsupport, we should be able to assist you further.

I had the same problem and decided to type all 600 in by hand.
It would be easier if a step by step example was written out in a manual.

Requirements are often gathered in excel by various people, before the go into EA.
