Hi guys I found the KPI Framework ([Ignition Exchange | Inductive Automation](https://inductiveautomation.com/exchange/2206/overview)) on Ignition Exchange and want to figure out how it works, however when I import the project, nothing seems to be imported. So I found some interesting behaviour when trying to import it directly in the designer. When I import this project, there are only a Com and an Ignition folder in the import window. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/4/64a0b9913545fbc82629c36b15d27fafdb43c2bb.png) Granted there are Views in the Com folder ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/b/3/b38fc9cb8783442cb85fde99db05bf570eaf2070.png) When I try to import it for a second time, it tells me that it's path is _Unknown - views/KPIFramework/Add KPI_ ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/9/7/973b817d0b0d9b6c185c8b97174975ccfb406890.png) I really have no idea where the Unknown bit comes from but I am reasonably sure tha's what's causing the project to be unviewable in the designer. So how can I resolve this? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. ---

Yes all the way till step 5 which it asks you to launch the project. There are no project in the session laucher to launch after importing the project. ---

Ah I see what's wrong, @rcrownover (Edit: or IA) added a sub-folder underneath the project zip where there shouldn't be any: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/c/d/cd1d37af4fd9bf740c9a4b4fbf5ae20202307435.png) Just need to unzip this and re-zip up the files and folders within this folder, e.g. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/2/4/24037dbe9c57aeb96c80e958da2c3cc8e591e174.png) [KPIFramework\_20190922.zip](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/uploads/short-url/r2ZbBrZAUMIG0wsXrACPyFiVqb3.zip) (213.7 KB) ---
