3.6.2           Import of substances from the substance list and of products

The input of substances and belonging data into the input line of the program can be made manually or by import from the substance list, in the case that the substance was input once already and exported into the substance list or enlisted there directly. The toolbar IMPORT can be selected at every opportunity that offers to enter a substance. Thereby, you open a window which can have different screens. If you open the substance list after clicking the toolbar NEW (except for the register sheet CATALYSTS) via IMPORT (see, e. g., Figure 7), only this appears with all substances enlisted (Figure 27a). After selecting a substance this can be imported. The same modus operandi in the register sheet CATALYSTS opens the possibility to import products of syntheses with all data enlisted in the project opened. In the example discussed up to now, this is the project methoxyacetophenone; 4-.project (Figure 27b). The same is valid for the import of substances when inputting the stoichiometric equation (compare Figure 3), if a synthesis sequence shall be created.

IMPORT can be selected as well if a substance already is enlisted. In this case, all data input already, except for the comment field in the register sheet, will be transcribed with those from the substance list. This function allows to replace substances with few data enlisted by new inputs made into the substance list in the meantime being more data-rich Furthermore substrates or catalysts can be exchanged with their syntheses enlisted in the opened project. Sequences can be built by this procedure. But in the register sheets SUBSTRATES and CATALYSTS only substances with the identical formula, resp. with the identical molecular weight, can be selected; others will not be indicated (compare Figure 28).
