Create an export configuration

You must have permission to be an administrator before you can work with export conditions. You can define what content you want to download from Inspire using export configurations. You'll need to specify the type of component in Source Components, and inside that component, which referenced content you want to export.

Tips and Tricks

  • You must have administrator permissions to work with import configurations.
  • You must create your own XSLT that can transform the XML structure in the files you want to export.
  • You must import your XSLT into Inspire to add it to an export configuration. Follow the steps in Import components.
  • After you create an export configuration, you can I save it under a new name. Follow the steps in Save an export configuration with a new name.

To create an export configuration:

      If you don't choose an export type, Inspire assigns Standard to your export configuration.
    3. If you don't want users to see this configuration when exporting, publishing, or translating components, clear the Active checkbox.
    4. To use this export configuration automatically when users are exporting, publishing, or translating components, select the Default. Keep in mind that users can select another option besides the default.
      Note: Inspire users who click Publish automatically see this export configuration selected in the Publish Configuration drop down box.
      • If you don't select the Default option for any export configurations and only one export configuration is defined for that type, that one configuration is used.
      • If you don't select the Default option for any export configurations and there are multiple export configurations for this Export Type, the first default configuration in the list is used.
      • If you select the Default option for multiple export configurations for this Export Type, the first default configuration in the list is used.
