Import Parameters from Excel

QTM4J provides the ability to bulk import parameters and their values from the Parameters section in Configuration.

Use Case: An Admin wants to bulk import parameters and their values through Excel at once so that they do not have to add the parameters one by one.

Required Permissions:

• Users should have Configuration Modify permission.

Prerequisite:

• An Excel file containing Name, Description, and Values.

Notes:

• A maximum of 20 parameters are allowed with up to 100 values for each parameter in a single Excel sheet.

• Duplicate parameter values will not get imported (e.g. “admin” and “admin”). Being case insensitive, the same parameter values but with different cases will get imported (e.g., “admin” and “Admin”).

Import Options for existing parameters with values

• Skip duplicate parameters and add the new ones: If the parameters already exist in the project, the matching parameters will be skipped completely irrespective of parameter values.

• Overwrite duplicate parameters with new parameter values: If the parameters already exist in the project, the parameter values of these existing parameters will be overwritten by the newly imported parameter values in the Excel file.

4. Click on the Start Import button.

Parameters are imported with values as per the Import options selected on the wizard.
