It is a practical tool for when you want to create a new Company that will use the same basic accounts structure as your existing ones. This function will create a file with the appropriate format for importing in to a new Company or database, which you can do using the 'Automatic' or 'Manual file search' Import functions in the System module. As the exported file is a text file, you can edit it as necessary using a text editor before importing it into a new Company or database, or of course you can make the necessary changes after importing. If you need to export information from base registers (e.g. Contacts, Tags/Objects) use the 'Base Registers' Export function, or if you need to export Item information use the 'Items Data' Export function, both in the Integration module. The 'Sales Data' and 'Settings' Export functions will also export some basic configuration information. The file will contain separate sections for each register or setting that you choose to export. You can produce an Export/Import Format report in the Technics module if you need to see the format (field order) that will be used in each section. To produce this report for a single register or setting, enter one of the following values in the Vc (View Code) field (and select the Include Blocks option for the settings marked with *):
Please refer to the Exporting Settings and Registers - Index page for a list of the Export functions that you can use to export information from other settings and registers. To use the 'System Data' Export function, you must log in as a Global User or Person whose Access Group explicitly grants full access to the Integration module. Ensure you are in the Integration module and open the 'Exports' list by clicking the [Routines] button in the Navigation Centre and the [Exports] button in the subsequent 'Routines' window. Then double-click 'System Data' in the 'Exports' list to open the 'Specify System Data' window:
Enter a name for the file and click [Save] or press the Enter key. If you are exporting with the intention of importing the information into another Standard ERP database or Company using the 'Automatic' and 'Manual file search' Import routines, do not name the file with two leading minus signs/hyphens (e.g. --Data.txt). Information will not be imported from files named in this way. A message window informs you about the progress of the export. The process can be interrupted at any time by pressing Esc (Windows) or ⌘-Full Stop (macOS). When the export has finished, you can close the 'Exports' window with the close box. --- Go back to:
