   1. Ensure the workbook to be imported has a unique name, different from the naming structure of the default workbook, and then delete the default workbook.
   2. Open the <DataLoaderName>.xml file.
   3. In the DATALOADERTEMPLATE_ID, DATALOADERTEMPLATE_DESC, and the DATALOADERTEMPLATE_FILE_NM parameters, replace the existing value with the name of the new workbook to be imported.
   4. Save the file.

The APM Family Data Loader can be used to populate the Site Reference on Equipment and Functional Location records in GE Digital APM.

1. On the data worksheet, add a column that contains MI_SITE_NAME in the column name.
   For example if you are working with a relationship, where a distinction needs to be made regarding which family is associated with each column, then the column name will be prefaced with the Family ID. As shown in the following image, the column name might take the form MI_EQUIP000|MI_SITE_NAME, where MI_EQUIP000 is the Family ID.
2. Enter the site name to designate the site by which the asset record, once loaded into GE Digital APM, will be filtered.
3. Continue populating the source workbook, and then run the data loader.
