I got a message saying my project settings imported successfully, but none of the project settings were applied

Symptom

  • The first time you tried to import the project settings, you got an error message that said "Project name already exists. Please enter a different project name." After choosing a different name for your project, you got a message that said "(Project Name) imported successfully."
  • However, when you open the Project Settings Manager to confirm, none of your imported settings are there.

Applies to

  • CONTENTdm

Resolution

When you chose a new name after getting the "Project name already exists error message," the Project Client created a new project with the name that you just chose. The Project Client does not open this new project automatically. 

  1. Go to Project > Open and select the project with the new name you just entered.
  2. When you go to the Project Settings Manager from here, you'll be able to see all the settings that you just imported.
