Topics Import History

The Topic's import history can be accessed from the same dropdown menu as Import Topics.

The import history lists all import jobs by the date of import. The filter options at the top enable filtering the listing by the import job status, date of import, and jobs you have imported.

For each import, the listing shows:

  • The user who imported Topics
  • The name of the imported BCF file
  • Date and time of the import
  • Status of the import (In progress, Completed, Complete with errors, Failed)
  • Number of new Topics that were added to the project
  • Number of existing Topics that were updated in the project
  • Number of Topics Skipped during the import

To see full import details, select an import job in the listing.

The Import details panel shows:

  • The import settings that were used during the import
  • List of all new Topics that were added during the import and list of all updated Topics
  • Import log

Import Log

The import log has important information about warnings and/or errors that occurred during the import job.

For example, the warning may give important information that a related model file was not found from the project during the import, explaining why the Relink model option is shown for the imported Topics. See Relink a Model to a BCF Topic.

View the import log by selecting View log in the Import details panel in the import history.

Import Log Error Examples

Unknown assignee:

The example shows an import error message saying that the imported BCF file had unknown user in the "assigned to/assignee" data.

Mismatch in Imported Topic Values:

Another example shows an error message which is shown when imported Topic has Type, Status, Priority, or Tag values that don't match with the allowed values in the project settings.

For both these scenarios, see Import a BCF Topic for tips on how to recover.
