- On the left side of the window under Settings Category, select General.
- Select the Global Options tab at the top of the window (if not already selected).

- Next to Populate Assembly Revision Description by: select one of the following to determine how the Assembly Revision Description property in FactoryLogix is populated from Version 7 data:

- Concatenate the Assembly and Assembly Revision Descriptions - Concatenates (links) the Version 7 assembly and assembly revision descriptions.
- Next to Merge new operation with default operation template, select one of the following:
- True - When set to True and working in unmapped mode, the default FactoryLogix operation template is applied to every operation before the Version 7 data is imported into FactoryLogix.
- False - When set to False, no template is applied to the Version 7 data being imported into FactoryLogix.
