Looking for some help to create a task from a .XML file in the Productivity Software

I am using a Productivity 2000 PLC connected to a Murr IO-Link Master. I have connected a few Keyence devices via IO-Link and I'm looking for some help to create a task that the Productivity software can use. I have the .XML file that comes from Keyence but I am not sure how to translate this file into something that the software can use. I have attached the file, it would not let me upload an XML file so I changed the extension to a CSV file. Tech support was unable to help me with this so they recommended reaching out to the community to see if anyone else has any experience doing this. He said they have engineers that have created these files in the past so I'm hoping someone from there or the community can help me out.

    We do not create .adktl files for non-ADC products. However, our examples can be used and modified to make your own code.

      @ADC Community_02 (Automationdirect.com)​ I have that utility downloaded and I imported the IODD files from there and I am able to see all of the information coming from my devices so that is working as it should be. I am now looking to create a task in the Productivity Suite Programming Software so I can read some of the inputs coming from the devices that I can use that to activate other devices. I have watched the videos online and I see that there are some pre-made tasks that can be downloaded for Automation direct products but not other brand products. I was told by tech support that Automation Direct has created these task files (.adtkl) in the past and I was looking to see if they could do that for my products as well.
