Import/export

Import/export in a new repository

 

Export

To export a data model, select an object and then the button “Download File“:

or the option “Download File” from the context menu:

You can also export multiple elements at once:

Selecting “Download File” in the bottom right corner of the screen opens a transfer window, where you can view the object export status.

 

Import

To import a file, go to the target directory and select the option “Upload File” from the context menu:

or manually open the taget location and select “Create” > “Upload File” respectively:

 

Selecting “Upload File” in the bottom right corner of the screen opens a transfer window, where you can view the file’s current import status.

When the program detects that the imported object has a reference object (data model/report) in the repository to which the object is being imported, an additional dialog box opens:

Available import options are:

  • Skip

Depending on the imported object: When importing a report, analysis, or dashboard, selecting the “Skip” option will only import the selected object (provided that the data model and connection on which the object is based are the same as the data model/connection from which it was exported).

If a data model or connection is missing, the import will create a separate directory in the corresponding location (tab: Connections, Models) that will contain the data model or connection for the imported object:

  • Save Separately

This option imports the object and creates duplicates of the model and connections. The import process creates new directories with the import name in the corresponding locations for Connections and Model.

An additional window will appear during the import, where you can provide your credentials to the source location from which the data for the model and report are imported.

You can skip this process and provide the connection details later.

  • Update Existing

This option imports an object and overwrites all the object-related elements.

Przykład
If you select the option “Update Existing“when importing an analysis to the environment where an analysis with the same model name and connections already exist, then:

The current model and connections will be overwritten with data from the export file. All previous information related to the model and connection will be replaced with the values included in the import file. This way, the model structure and connection configuration will exactly match the version saved in the export file.
