Export structure

Export structure

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

Important remarks

• Built-in elements are always created in M-Files by default. They include, for example, the property definitions Name or title, Created by, and Keywords. In addition to these, administrators can create user-defined elements.
• It is recommended to use aliases or GUIDs in event handlers and metadata card configurations. This is because they are exported as-is and because the metadata element IDs can be different in the source and the target vaults.
• The imported metadata card configurations are visible in the target vault after you either restart M-Files Admin or do a forced refresh (Ctrl + F5) in the configurations editor.
