How do I import entries from an Excel file into a server termbase?

Question

I am using the SDL MultiTerm desktop app, logged into the server and able to create the termbase. 
 I would normally go to the &ldquo;Termbase Management&rdquo; window and under the termbase upload by using Import --> Process and search for the XML file (which I create using the SDL Convert app). However, this time there is no Import (only Export). When I go to the &ldquo;Administrator&rdquo; window, under the termbase, I see Import under Public Object and there is no Process but Load and I need to use an .xdi file instead. 
 Am I missing any steps? How do I create an .xdi file? Let me know if you can help.

Hi Antonio. I have review the steps you mentioned. If you right click on the Import (under the Public Object), you will get the 2 options: Add/Create & Load. The process button should be enabled in the upper main ribbon once you click in the Import. You can check the screenshot I am enclosing. If you do not see this button, you can try to reset the window layout (View tab -> Reset window layout). If you still don't see the Process button, check the user rights, for the affected termbase. I hope one of the solutions helped. 
 Alex.
