C.8. Importing the Substance dataset

The tutorial in this chapter shows how to import a complete Substance dataset or individual records.

Prerequisite is that you have a IUCLID export file stored on your computer, e.g. as created in the preceding exercise (see chapter C.7 Exporting the Substance dataset). If you import an already existing Substance dataset, any identical records will be automatically deselected by default. To test the import of a Substance dataset that is not yet available on your IUCLID installation, you may delete the Substance dataset after exporting it (right-click it in the Query results pane and select the Delete command).

Step-by-step guide
