    Child definitions not importing

    Using CMSImport

    Hi

    i am trying to import from an excel workbook with data on 3 seperate sheets.

    the structure once imported should be:

     - document folder
     -  - document
     -  -  - version1
     -  -  - version2
     -  - document
     -  - document
     - document folder

    so, document folders have documents which have versions.

    each level is on a different sheet:

    folders [with folderID]

    documents [with documentID]

    versions [with versionID]

    i am setting up an import definition for the folders with a child definition for the documents which then has a further child definition for the versions.

    when i run the import, all i am getting is the folders imported. the other records are detected, but it does not seem to be 'seeing' the relationships between the levels.

    can anyone suggest where i may be going wrong?

    Hi did you pick a parent relation? In the documents sheet you should specify the column that holds the relation to the Folders sheet  In the example below you see that I create a relation to the Product category folder by specifying productcategoryId column taht exists in the products sheet.

     

     

    Hope this helps you,

    Hi RIchard, well yes i had done that, but what i had not done is define the primary key [doh!]

    because i was not planning updates i had not ticked it and was thinking that it must be the data oro the nested child definitions.

    thank you for your reply and screengrab
