# 4.10. Briefing Import

Briefing information can be imported from XML-files generated by other systems. Specific Scheduler’s Import Jobs can be used for this purpose.

### 4.10.1. Briefing Import Job

---

This Job applies XML exported by SAP system and creates corresponding briefings with pages, headlines, products (including all product info and prices). Briefing Import should be configured before setting up Briefing Import Job.

#### Configuring Briefing Import

**Location:** *Modules > Manage Modules > Briefing Module Configuration > Integration* > Import Configuration

To Configure Briefing Import follow the next steps:

1. Open *Edit Import Configuration* window and upload template for import

> [!WARNING]
> XML containing briefing that would be imported may be used as template
2. Map root elements
3. Map fields

> [!WARNING]
> *position()* XPath function can be used for mapping field containing sorting. For example:
> 
> There’s no tag defining page number. Without using *position()* function to pages’ node, pages will be imported with random order. If *position()* was applied to pages’ node, pages will be imported in order they placed in exported XML.
4. Click OK
