Import and Export Folders


When you want to import or export an entire structure of folders, use the Options Folders-> Import or Folders-> Export .

Export only include the documents for which the user has access permissions, therefore should not be assumed that the entire tree has exported unless the user has access permissions to all branches and documents.

After the export, OPD will present a summary containing the number of folders exported and the number of documents. If an error occurs, a message will be presented with the reason for the error.

In web version, the metadata of the folder and all the documents of the first level with their metadata included are exported in opd format (an XML text file with utf-8 encoding) and each EMBEDDED document in XML in base64 format. The OPD file containing everything (metadata folder + metadata documents + documents) will be downloaded to the browser and can be saved for later import in the same or a different system.

Should be noted that to avoid unwanted effects on import, OPD does not include definitions during export. Therefore, the definitions of elements such as document type (with metadata correspondence), ACL, mime type, etc.. must exist at the time of import (in the current system or at a different location). To export the definitions should be used explicitly maintenance functions of the administration screens.
