How does the import work?

The program goes through all selected application layers and objects. For all places where a field code is specified, the program finds which sheet in the Excel file this is found in, and copies in properties from that sheet.

After the operation is completed, you will see a status report. The report logs how many cross-links were performed, and how many were not performed due to problems.
