This functionality was modified in an update. For more information, see Export data (modified in an update).

For individual objects or sets of closely related objects, the export data option extracts a full definition of the objects to a file in XML format. You can then modify the file as required, and load the extended model.

The data available for exporting is managed by security rules. Access to the different object types is managed using access groups on individual class definitions, where the access group must have the APIRead property set to Grant. This ensures that you can only export data that you have permission to access. For more information, see Restricting user and role access to database operations.

Out of the box, the option to export data is made available only to users with the SDx Administrator or Business Administrator role, and we recommend it is kept restricted to administrators.

  1. Search for the objects for which you want to export the data, and select Actions > Export Data.

  2. Select the boxes next to the objects that you want to include in the export.

    If you select a relationship with a link interface that also has relationships, the link interface relationships are automatically added to allow you to export them.

  3. Click Export to save the XML to a file.

    SHARED Tip You can also click to copy the XML to your clipboard.
