Loading Other File Types

Describes how to load proposals from MWI and PRP files instead of the default Tango file.


Tango can also load other file types


By default Tango looks for Proposals in Tango files. However, Tango can also load proposals from MWI and PRP files. MWI files are normally used when transferring information from one agency to another. More information is available on Agency to Agency transfers here.


To load a Proposal (regardless of the file type) -


  1. Start Tango Toolbar.  Look for the Tango shortcut on your desktop or Citrix platform.  Look at the graphic in the top left of this page - the yellow swirly thing - the Tango shortcut icon looks similar.  When you find it, double click the shortcut to start Tango. This will open a simple four button toolbar.

  2. Start the "Receive Proposals" application.  Click on the left most button in the toolbar - the one with the tooltip "Receive Proposals" and a window will appear.


To Load an MWI


  • Either -

    • Drag the MWI file from Windows Explorer and drop it on the Tango window. (This option may not work at all sites)
      or
    • Press the "Load proposal" button.
      In the File Open dialog that appears, press the "Tango file (*.tango)" button in bottom right corner.
      Select "MediaWise import file (*.mwi)" from the drop down -
      File Filter
      In the main section of the file dialog, find the MWI, select it, then press "Open".
      The data will load into Tango.

To Load a PRP


  • Either -

    • Drag the PRP file from Windows Explorer and drop it on the Tango window. (This option may not work at all sites)
      or
    • Press the "Load proposal" button.
      In the File Open dialog that appears, press the "Tango file (*.tango)" button in bottom right corner.
      Select "PRP file (*.prp)" from the drop down -
      File Filter
      In the main section of the file dialog, find the PRP file, select it, then press "Open".
      The data will load into Tango.

Final step



You can now proceed as if this was a Proposal from a Network.
Follow the instruction for loading a Proposal into BMD from Step 5.
