Guide Demo 5B

This document provides step-by-step instructions for using the Advanced Import Wizard in PIRAMID to import pipeline system data from an external Microsoft Access database into a PIRAMID project. It describes selecting the data source, creating an import profile to map the external data to PIRAMID attributes, querying the pipeline names, and performing the import. The process results in pressure values being converted from kPa to psi and pipeline attribute data like diameter, coating condition, and range being imported and associated with the Main Line and New Line pipelines.
