You can export and import a schema container. Schema containers are large files, so the export and import processes will take some time.
Before exporting your schema container data to Excel, consider what changes you plan to make in Excel. When you make changes to the exported container in Excel, it could cancel/nullify/invalidate other changes being made to the schema (outside of the exported Excel file). We recommend exporting smaller schema files to Excel to edit.
To export a schema container the following process is used:
-
Open the schema file
-
Set one or more active configurations if the schema file is a CMF file
-
Export the schema container to Microsoft Excel.
Export the Schema Container
-
Click Tools > Schema > Export an Importable Excel Workbook for Container to export the entire schema container.
-
Type the name of the exported Excel file in the Save Spreadsheet File dialog box, then click Save to export. The file is saved as a .xlm.
Exporting the container can take a considerable amount of time. Please be patient.
In addition, the file size of the exported container is large.
