Detailed Tasks
1 Download the file, Exercise Artifacts and extract the files
Download the Exercise Artifacts file and extract the two files, Sales_CreditCards.csv and Web_Treatments.csv to a local drive on your computer.
2 Import the new treatments from the file Web_Treatments.csv

- On the Web tab, click Manage treatments to manage the web treatments.
- In Decision Data: Web Treatments, click Check out to enable adding and deletion of web treatments.
Note: For Business as Usual (BAU), it is recommended to add treatment by treatment without checking out the entire treatment Decision Data Record (DDR). Checking out a treatment can negatively impact other business users who are working on individual treatments. Also, it can lead to mistakes such as overriding previous user changes due to Import/Export functionality. Use the Check out action only when the business is OK to block other user's treatment work.

Note: The file that you import must contain all existing treatments (in this case, Web_Treatments.csv). When you import a treatments file, the new data overwrites all previous treatments. In case the existing treatments are not a part of the import file, then those treatments get deleted while importing the new treatments.
- Click Load to load the web treatments from the file.

On Mac, go to System Preferences > Language & Region > Advanced. Make sure there is a comma in the List separator. Alternatively, replace the ',' (commas) in the file with ';'.
