2. Select the item type with which each of the objects is imported into the database. The item types you enter must already exist in the database. For a list of existing item types, move the cursor into the dialog box and press F1. The item types that are requested depend on which types of templates you elected to import in the previous step.If you enter an item type, you must be aware of the name of the revision of this item. The name of the revision consists of the item name appended by the word Revision, for example, MyItem Revision. These two terms may or may not have a space between them. You must ascertain whether the revision has a space. If so, type “item_name ”. Note the empty space after the item name, for example "MyItem ". If the item revision contains no spaces, such as ItemRevision, this is not necessary, and you can simply type Item.You must specify the internal item type. This name can be different from the displayed item type name. The following table shows the default item types used by the installation.
