Import a model

To import a model and add it to the EI-Flow inventory, upload the model package file that was previously created with an export operation in EI-Authoring or in Studio:

• To import a public model:

  • In any of the main pages excluding Administration, select the plus icon on the top toolbar then choose Upload Model.

  Or:

  • In the Models page, when no existing model is selected, make a choice under Add new model in the right panel.

• In the case of a project key:

  • If the project has just been created, select Upload model inside the Assets panel, otherwise:

    • [Open]((../../projects/edit/index.md#open-a-project) the project:

      • If the project doesn't have assets, select Upload model.
      • If the project already has some assets, select the plus icon at the top of the left panel then choose Upload model.

• To import a model while managing a workflow:

  • In the workflow creation wizard, if you choose the Sequential or the Parallel preset, select Upload in the step in which the wizard asks you to select the models.

  Or:

  • In the workflow editor select the upload icon at the bottom of the My Models bar at the right of the page.

In all the cases above a dialog appears:

1. Change the pre-selected model type, if needed, using the Type of model drop-down list.
2. Select Upload.
3. Select the file of the model package.
4. Check and possibly change the model name which, by default, coincides with the file name.
5. If you want to change the file, select Replace and repeat from step 3.
6. Select Upload at the bottom right of the dialog.
