    ProjectWise - import/excel tools update the description attribute

    Is it possible to update the default description attribute in ProjectWise using the export/import to excel tools? I have been able to update custom created attributes but not the description attribute. Thanks

      Hello Michael
      Are you talking about the document description in the 'General' tab of the properties of the document?

      Hi Dana,

      yes, that is correct, do you know if it can be edited using the tools import/export?

      Thanks
      Michael

      If you were just updating the environment attributes, then during the export you likely choose not to export the file. However if you are updating fields that pertain to the file (listed on the general tab of the properties of the document) such as the description then the file has to be exported during the export process.
