The Import Options dialog lets you assign the primary IDs, secondary IDs, attributes, and hyperlinks for a boundary file. You must have the Specify import options box checked in the Import dialog to access the Import Options dialog.
Select IDs and attributes to import with the boundary file in the Import
Options Dialog.
To assign IDs and hyperlinks, check the box and then use the lists to the right of the corresponding ID name. The lists include all the available IDs, which varies from boundary file to boundary file. Attributes are automatically deselected in the list when they are selected for the PID, SID, or Hyperlink.
Check the Import attributes list to linked worksheet check box to include the attributes and their values for each object in the linked worksheet. This option is useful if the file was exported with the linked worksheet data as attributes.
Check the Import objects that are (partially) within the limits of the existing map box to import objects that are at least partially included within the existing map limits. This imports the entire object that touches the map limits so the map limits may be slightly adjusted after import.
