Export Structure

The Export Structure tab enables you to select which parts of the metadata structure you want to export.



The "Structure" tab of the "Export Content" dialog.

Export Structure

You can choose the metadata structure elements of the selected vault to be exported or select all elements by activating All Elements.

Note: Built-in elements are always created in M-Files by default and include, for example, the property definitions Name or title, Created by, Last modified by, and Keywords. In addition to these, administrators can create new, user-defined elements.

Export contents of the selected value lists

By selecting the Export contents of the selected value lists checkbox you can choose to export all value list content.

Note: All the removed values are replicated as well. This means that values in the target vault may be deleted through a metadata structure import. The values are not deleted completely, however, but instead only marked as deleted. This enables the ability to search and re-enable any deleted values in the source or target vault via M-Files Admin.

Selecting OK creates an export package of the selected metadata to the location specified on the Package location tab.
