Update Flow Survey Importer

Please update the Flow Survey Importer function within InfoWorks ICM. This part of the software is straight out of HydroWorks and contributes to RSI (repetitive strain injury) for users.

As to import a flow survey it requires clicking on each monitor individually. Then scroll through a tiny letterbox to select next monitors. Then scroll through another tiny letterbox to check all have been selected. Then repeat for Rain Gauge data, and repeat again for numerous events in the flow survey and full period.

The whole process requires thousands of unnecessary clicks. It is well over-due an update to streamline the import process and allow import all data function.

I personally have bought an ergonomic mouse (to click with thumb) but now my thumb is struggling so have learnt to use my left hand to operate mouse.

This idea was previous deleted from the site in error- https://innovyzefeedback.autodesk.com/ideas/IWICM-I-450

Therefore, it must be considered higher priority due to the voting/support for this previous idea has now been lost. Please please please can Autodesk upgrade this part of the software.
