Any **Log** entries that are displayed are selected through the filter criteria. If there are no **Logs** or none that fit the criteria, the **Logs** pane will be blank.

To **Import** a **Log Template** file, the **Import** button on the **Logs** tab must be selected.

This will be the same for **Template** files that contain only one **Log**, or that contain multiple **Logs** for **Import**.

::: info
The **Logs** will be imported with their original dates and details, so ensure that the date range on the **Logs** tab is sufficiently wide enough to enable you to see the **Logs** you have just imported. And also ensure that the appropriate boxes are ticked to allow you to see the type of **Logs** you are importing.
