Import/Export Configuration

While you can configure the columns manually, if you have already configured the table once, the Import and Export options let you complete the configuration process in just a few seconds.
This is accomplished by exporting the configurations to a text file (using 'Export') and then reusing it later (using 'Import').
To export, click on Export.
Please ensure that you export saved configurations. If not, click Save to save the existing configuration and then export.
In the above example, notice the configuration details of the highlighted fields.
In the confirmation pop-up, click Download to download the file to your local system.
Click Save to save the config file. This will export the column properties in a .txt format.
If you need to recreate the same configuration later, or if a team member is trying to configure the same source table, you can use the Import option instead of starting from scratch. Here’s how to do it:
After loading your table into EDITable, click Import to import the previously downloaded text file.
Select Click to Upload. In the file explorer, select the text file you downloaded earlier.
Click Upload.
If conflicting properties exist, a pop-up will appear asking for confirmation to overwrite the existing column configuration. You'll also be prompted about additional columns such as formula or multi-select columns (if present) to confirm if you want to add them. You can check the required columns to select them and apply the configurations.
Click Import to proceed.
The columns will be configured and saved automatically with the imported configurations.
