Figure 139 shows the view in “learn mode” after a Discover was issued, with files found on the remote station in the top pane, and existing file import descriptors in the lower pane.

Click to select either an entire directory of files to import (as shown selected/highlighted in Figure 139), or select a single file to import. If a selected directory, its entire contents are imported upon execution—this means all contained files, plus any subdirectories and their contained files.

NoteHold down the Ctrl key while clicking in the Discovered pane to make multiple selections. Each will have a separate “Files” property to review/edit in the resulting Add dialog for the Niagara file import descriptor.

With one or more rows in the Discovered pane selected, click the Add button. The Add dialog appears. See Add or Edit dialog for NiagaraFileImports.
