Select the Master Tool Settings
Unless the Import/Export MTS is chosen automatically (see the Smart Match section on the CFF2 page of the Import Settings) this will allow you to select the MTS from the following form:-
Import file (MTS)
If there is already an open project and you are importing an Impact file then there will be another pulldown list above the MTS list with the following options:-
- Settings for this customer
- Settings for any customer
Selecting ‘Settings for this customer’ means that only those MTS that are assigned to the customer that is associated with the current project will be displayed.
File format
Impact will automatically detect the format of the chosen file and display it here.
The displayed list of Master Tool Settings will be restricted to only those that have been selected as being valid for this particular import format. See the Non-native page of the Import Settings.
Master Tool Setting list
From the displayed list select the required MTS. The selected MTS description is displayed below the list.
A temporary override to the settings can be made by double-clicking the setting name and editing any of the settings. Next time the tool is run these settings will return to those stored in the database.
Overrides to some of the settings can be made on this form as follows:-
