Export assets
You can export assets from a view. For example, this is useful if you want to create an overview in Excel.
Note Exporting and importing assets and complex relations is restricted by the file upload settings, which determine the maximum file size, allowed file extensions and maximum amount of uploads and downloads per day.
Steps
- Navigate to the asset table that you want to export.
Example: Business Glossary - Above the table, to the right, click
>
The Export dialog box appears. - Enter the required information.
Field Description View Choose the view that you want to export.
By default, your current view is filled in as view to export.
Add the characteristic needed for reimport. (ID, Domain, Community, ...) Select if you want to reimport the export file later.
By default, the export file only contains the characteristics that are displayed in the view. If you select this field, the export file will contain additional columns that are needed for the reimport.
Remove text formatting. Select this to remove any formatting of attributes in the import file.
Warning Removing text formatting may create problems while reimporting. During the reimport, column names are not automatically mapped to prevent overwriting of formatted text. You can manually map the columns, but then you loose formatting.
