Exporting Types
===============

:ref:`Types <types-anchor>` can be exported in **JSON format**, allowing for backup, versioning, or migration across
systems.

There are two ways to export Types:

1. **From the Toolbox**
   Navigate to **Toolbox -> Exporter**, select the **Type** export option, and choose a specific Type
   to export. This provides a straightforward way to export a single Type definition.

2. **From the Type Overview**
   Go to **Framework -> Types**. In the list view, you will see checkboxes next to each Type.
   You can either:
   
   - Click the yellow **Export** button without selecting any items to export **all Types**.
   - Select specific Types using the checkboxes, then click **Export** to export only the selected ones.

Export Format
-------------

- The export produces a **JSON file** containing the full schema definitions of the selected Type(s).
- The structure of the exported file matches the format used for Type imports, making it ideal for use in migrations or automation.

Exporting Objects
=================

Objects can be exported in various formats for reporting, processing, or re-importing. Currently supported formats
include:

* CSV
* Microsoft Excel (XLSX)
* JSON
* XML

| 

Exporting from the Object List
------------------------------

To export objects, navigate to a list of objects of a **single type** and click the **Export** button. If the object
list contains multiple types, the export function will not be available.

You can choose between two export modes:

.. list-table:: Table 2: Supported Export Types
   :width: 100%
   :widths: 25 75
   :align: left
   :header-rows: 1

   * - Type
     - Description
   * - Raw Export
     - All fields of the selected objects are exported in their raw form. This is useful when the goal is to re-import updated data back into DataGerry with minimal formatting issues.
   * - Customer Export
     - Only the fields selected by the user are exported. When using a quick filter in the object table, only the **filtered objects** are exported. Additionally, this mode exports **rendered values** instead of raw data, offering a more readable format for reporting or external use.

Exporting from the Toolbox
--------------------------

Object export is also accessible from the main menu. Go to:

:menuselection:`Toolbox --> Exporter --> Export Objects`

This method allows for direct access to the object export interface without navigating through the object lists.
