1. The file-type you want to import should be readable by one of the imports available in Delft-Fews
2. You must configure an instance of this import module
3. You must add the moduleInstance to an workflow (usually the ImportExternal Workflow)
4. In case the locationId's and parameterId's in your Delft-Fews configuration are not identical to those in the files you need to import a IdMap file should be set up and referred to in the import module
5. You will probably need to adjust one or more locationsets, the filters.xml file and the DisplayGroups.xml file if you need to display or process the newly imported data types.

   Info
   Please note that Delft-Fews DELETES all files after importing them. As such, you should ALWAYS copy files from another directory to the location from which Delft-Fews imports files. If you do not do this you might loose you files.

The XML configuration files used in this example are shown below:
