Import archived data

  1. Navigate to one of the views listed above.
  2. Click the Import button at the bottom of the view to display the Import window.
  3. Select the archive from the drop-down list. The archives are listed by date with the name of the view at the beginning. For example, for the Connections View the archive would have the following format: DYNAMICLOG_Archive_YY_MM_DD.bua.gz
  4. Click OK.

Some archive files can be quite large and make take several minutes to import. A progress dialog is displayed as the import is taking place. A message is displayed when the import is complete.
