Exports



Exporting Types

Types 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:

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:

Toolbox ‣ Exporter ‣ Export Objects

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