OverviewTo import locking system data into portier Vision Companion, you will typically receive your data from the manufacturer or dealer in a supported file format.With portier Vision 5.4.4, you can import both XML and KWD files, which are standard file formats for locking systems. These allow you to transfer different types of locking system data into the system.KWD files are commonly provided by manufacturers such as ASSA ABLOY, KESO, dormakaba, SWISS, and BKS, and are supported from KWD version 8 onwards.
The import process for KWD files is identical to the XML import.
