When attempting to import Advanced Capture forms, you may be presented with a message notifying you that a form you are attempting to import has the same global identification number as an existing form in your Advanced Capture solution.
This message indicates that while the Advanced Capture form you are trying to import has the same identifier as an existing form, it does not have the same name. This might occur if you export a form from your solution into another solution, change the form's name either in the other solution or in the XML file, and then re-import the form back into your solution.
You have three options for resolving these collisions of "duplicate" forms on import:
-
Click Replace, Use Incoming Name to replace the existing form with the form you are importing, using the name of the incoming form. The global identification number remains unchanged.
-
Click Replace, Keep Existing Name to replace the existing form with the form you are importing, but to apply the name of the existing form to the incoming form. The global identification number remains unchanged.
-
Click Import New Template, Keep Existing Intact to retain the existing form with its global identification number intact and to import the new form while assigning it a new, unique global identification number.
If you are attempting to import multiple form duplicates in the same XML file, you will be presented with this collision message for each separate form duplicate in succession. This allows you to choose different resolution options for different form duplicates, if desired. Once all collisions have been resolved, the import process can continue as normal.
