 +===== Automated Import View =====
 +
 +Import views can also be automatically created out of Documenter. To do this:
 +
 +  - Select View Scripts -> Import from the SAMM menu
 +  - Activate the control checkbox (fixed variables cannot be changes and therefore are not relevant to import views)
 +  - Click OK and then specify the location to save the .v and .t files.
 +
 +Note:
 +  * This process does not capture the file path that indicates the location(s) of the data source(s) nor does it specify the correct [[howtos:​workwithdata:​data_format_vs_file_format|data format(s)]] needed to read the data into the model. This all must be done manually.
 +  * The file generated will represent the node currently selected in Documenter. If the root node is selected all of the control variables will be included in the import view. If a calculator is selected only the variables associated with that calculator will be used.
