Are you importing this in the gateway or designer?

Okay. I get an error in the console on the latest 8.0.1-beta build, but it still imports. It’s possible it’s fixed.

The cause of the error is that the data for the view at `Features/Alarming/Journal/Analysis/View` is null. Probably from one of the pre-8.0.0 beta bugs.

The project has been alive for a couple of months so maybe it’s something hanging out from way back when.  
Thanks Kevin, I will probably create a clean 8.0 project and bring stuff over as needed.
