Importing a VoiceForm

The Import VoiceForm function in the user interface enables you to import current VoiceForms to another system or legacy VoiceForms that were created using the Eclipse-based editor into the VoiceCheck database for the first time. The import process requires that the component files of the VoiceForm are compressed in a single .zip file.

Preparing Legacy VoiceForm Files

To import VoiceForm files from versions of VoiceCheck earlier than version 1.0: These VoiceForms were created by an Eclipse-based editor.

  1. In the Eclipse project containing the VoiceForms, select all individual form files to be imported into VoiceCheck:
    • *.frm file
    • *.properties file(s)
    • *.listitems file(s)
  2. Right-click on the selected files, and select Export… from the context menu.
  3. In the Export window, select General > Archive File, then click Next.
  4. In the Archive File window, perform the following steps.
    • Verify that the files you want to import are selected in the right-hand pane.
    • In the To archive file: field, enter a path and file name for export. Choose a convenient location on the machine. Use the browse button as needed.
      The file name must have a .zip extension.
    • Select the Save in zip format radio button.
    • Select the Create only selected directories radio button.
  5. Click Finish to create the .zip archive of the form files.

Importing a VoiceForm into VoiceCheck

  1. Log on to the VoiceCheck user interface.
  2. Click the VoiceForm Editor tab.
  3. Click the Import VoiceForm navigation link. The Import VoiceForm page opens.
  4. Browse to the .zip file you created.
  5. Click Import.

    If you import a VoiceForm that already exists in VoiceCheck, you will be prompted to save the imported file under a new name. This will create a new VoiceForm.

  6. The system displays a success message. The VoiceForm files are successfully imported and ready for use.

List item groups and prompt templates that already exist in the target system are not overwritten during the import.

Conditions in VoiceForms from VoiceCheck version 1.0 and earlier are automatically reformatted as separate records for compatibility with the current design. Duplicate conditions are combined and referenced from each of their original steps.
