-----------------------------------------

This feature can be used to import data from spreadsheets into TopBraid.

Good introductions can be found in the video links below.

.. note::
   This importer provides a fully interactive wizard that anyone can use for typical use cases.
   If your spreadsheet does not match any of the patterns supported by this wizard, you may
   want to look into the ADS scripting technology that TopBraid offers, see Further Reading.
