Importing Tasks
You can import a file containing tasks and comments that have been exported
from another base station. If these tasks reference custom inputs, custom
actions, counters, timers, or flags, you will need to re-create them in the
configuration of the base station you are importing tasks into.
To import task items
1. In any Task Manager form, click Import .
2. Navigate to the folder containing the TB8100 task item export file (*.t8i),
select it, and click Open .
Note: Task Manager statements that select a profile or a channel
number display ?? in place of the number. You need to edit the
statement to reference the correct profile or channel. If a statement
refers to custom inputs, actions, counters, timers and flags, you will need to
create the appropriate item. Task item export files cannot contain these items.
