Dialog call Field assignment dialog:Utilities > Parts > Management. You have opened a parts database using [Extras] > Settings. [Extras] > Import. In the Import records dialog, click [...] in the Field assignment field.
You have opened the EPLAN Data Portal and import a part. Click [...] in the Protect fields field in the Import of parts dialog.
In this dialog you create and edit the scheme that defines the fields in the database to which the exported data is to be written to, for the structure and the free properties. This simplifies the data exchange between customers who use different structures. In addition you specify the fields that are to be considered "protected".
Overview of the main dialog elements:
Select the scheme that you wish to use or edit from the drop-down list. You can also use the adjacent toolbar for this purpose.
Free properties / Attributes tabs:
Note:
When importing from the EPLAN Data Portal these two tabs are only available if the current scheme contains assignments for free properties / attributes.
Both of these tabs have an identical structure and contain the following dialog elements:
- Number - source: Enter the number of the appropriate field in the source database here.
- Number - target: Enter the number of the field into which the import is to occur here.
Use this tab to define the properties that should not be updated when the parts data is imported. To do this, click 
(New), and in the Criteria selection dialog, select the property to be ignored when importing.
Protect function templates:
Activate this check box, if the function templates of the parts are to be protected against changes during the importing of parts data. This means that function templates are generally not imported.
The popup menu provides - depending on the field type (date, integer, multilingual, etc.) - the following menu items:
