### Importing an XML File

An Extensible Markup Language file (XML) is a text file that has been encoded electronically to contain data structures. Many third party tools export measurement data as an XML file. The xml option allows you to import those data files into your database. PC-DMIS 2010 MR3 and later also allow you to export statistical data using the XMLSTATS command.

1. Once you have an xml file, on the Choose a data file screen of the wizard, choose the xml option.

2. Click Browse, and select the xml file.

3. Click Finish to import the data.

4. The Performing Operation... screen shows details of the import process. Click Cancel to close the wizard. Once the dialog box closes, the imported data will be available for selection from within Datapage+.
