Downloading and Applying a Fileset

• Save the ZIP file to an available folder; it doesn’t matter what folder is chosen as the ZIP does not contain any sensitive data.
• Extract (unzip) the .mfs file to an available folder, it is fine to use the same folder as that where you downloaded the ZIP.
• Open SIMS and select Tools | Setups | Import Fileset.
• You can use the browse to select the .mfs file.
• A rectangle outlining the content of the Fileset will appear. If you are happy with the content you should click ‘Import Fileset’ button.
• A message will appear in the rectangle to indicate that the Fileset is being imported.
• When the import is complete a message will pop up reminding you that you should restart SIMS.
• After you have restarted SIMS you will see the new Fileset number displayed in the Statutory Returns applications.
