Import Relationships
« on: September 20, 2013, 09:52:45 pm »
I have a lot of relationships information to upload to EA.It it possible to define the relationships, for instance, on Excel and import them to EA package?

Not native.
I think EADocX does that.
Or you can extend my Excel importer to also import relations.

Geert said "extend". You have to do a little homework :-)

Or do you mean eaDocX?

I'll ask Ian, the author of EADocX to comment about this.

Another option is to write a script using JScript directly within EA. I found that using the included JScript CSV library, I was able to create an import function with relative ease. This is if you are more familiar with java-like languages in comparison to VBScript that is avialable in the Excel import capabilities mentioned earlier.
