The import wizard is ordinarily used to export and reintegrate individual process cell data. The
process cell data are exported from a source process cell (see previous section) and then
imported into the target process cell. The source and target process cells may differ, of course.
The import wizard supports you with interactive dialogs.
After selecting the desired import file and setting the type of import (recipes, libraries, formula
categories), the corresponding content of the import file is displayed in the first page of the
wizard. You can specify which elements of the import file should be imported. If there is a
saved object with the same name in the currently open Batch process cell, this is displayed.
When this happens, enter a new name or exclude the object from the import.
