Exporting Objects through CentraSite Business UI
To export an object, you must have View permission for the object you want to export.
With CentraSite Business UI, you can export one or more objects in each export operation. The export operation creates an archive file which you can download and has a copy of the objects that you have exported. The archive file can be then imported into the same CentraSite registry or into a new registry.
To export an object or a set of objects
1. In CentraSite Business UI, go to the page that contains the object or the set of objects that you want to export.
For example, if you want to export taxonomies, go to the Taxonomies page or if you want to export asset types, go to Asset Types.
2. Select an object or set of objects you want to export and click Export on the action bar.
The Export dialog box shows the selected object.
3. Expand Advanced Settings to view and select additional export options.
The available options depend on the type of object you wish to export.
Object type | Available export options |
Asset |  Include referenced assets. If the selected assets contain references to other assets, then the referenced assets are included in the export set. This selection process is repeated recursively until all asset references are satisfied. Minimize auditable events. Includes only the last updated and created auditable events. |
Taxonomies | Include assets for categories. Include all assets that are classified by categories of the taxonomy. Include referenced assets. If the selected assets contain references to other assets, then the referenced assets are included in the export set. This selection process is repeated recursively until all asset references are satisfied. Minimize auditable events. Includes only the last updated and created auditable events. |
Asset Type | Include assets for selected types. Include all assets that are instances of the asset types. Include referenced assets. If the selected assets contain references to other assets, then the referenced assets are included in the export set. This selection process is repeated recursively until all asset references are satisfied. Minimize auditable events. Includes only the last updated and created auditable events. |
4. Click Apply Settings.
5. The Export dialog box displays the list of selected assets and its dependent assets.
The checkbox beside each asset indicates whether or not the asset should be included in the export set. By default, all displayed assets are included in the export set.
If you want to remove an asset from the export set, clear its checkbox. This removes the asset and all of its dependent assets from the export set.
6. Click Export to start the export operation.
Note:
If you want to discard all your changes and return to your previous screen, click Cancel.
An Export Progress popup window is displayed.
7. To download the exported archive file, click Download.
This starts the creation of the archive file.
The Download button remains disabled until the export operation is completed.
The archive file is downloaded to the browser's default download location.
