Importing Task Steps

AML (Automate Markup Language) files can be imported to the Task Builder by dragging and dropping the files, or by using the Task Builder's Import option. Doing so will import the steps of the task onto the Task Builder's Steps panel. Thereafter, steps can be edited and new changes can be saved.

To Import Task Steps onto Task Builder Using Drag and Drop

  1. Open Task Builder.
  2. Drag the desired .AML files from their original location and drop them into the Task Builder's Steps panel. Task Builder then becomes populated with the newly imported task steps.
  3. Edit the steps as necessary and select Save from the Ribbon's Application button to save the task.
