4. Click Open to start the import process.

   If the InfoSWMM network includes any scenarios, a window containing a list of scenarios that can be imported is displayed.

5. Select the relevant scenario and click OK.

   The mxd file and any other associated model data from the InfoSWMM model ISDB folder will be imported.

   When the import process is complete, a log file, which contains any conversion errors or warnings, is displayed.

   Note that file-based time series are not supported in ICM and will result in an import error.

   If a scenario was selected for import, the name of the scenario will appended to the imported items in the Explorer window. The format for the name is <mxdfilename>_<scenarioname>.
