Import or Export Grooper Objects

How can you share Grooper objects, like Content Models, Batch Processes, Batches and more, with other Grooper users?

About

Grooper allows you to export Grooper objects from a Grooper Repository as a zip archive file. You can then bring in those objects into a Grooper Repository by importing the zip file.

The process is straightforward, but there are a few things to watch out for.

Exporting a Single Object

For this example, we have an IP Profile batch named "Sample IP Profile - Layout Data" that we want to export from this Grooper repository and import it into another. To export a single object, all you need to do is right click the object in the Node Tree you want to export. Here, we have right clicked the IP Profile named "Sample IP Profile - Layout Data" Select "Share..." and "Export to Zip Archive..." The following window will pop up to configure your export. Use the Filename property to name the zip file and choose the folder location where you want to save it. The filename will default to the name of the object you are exporting.
The following window will appear. Choose the folder location you want to save your zip file. Name the file whatever you would like. The filename will default to the name of the object you are exporting. It's generally a good idea to at least include the major version of Grooper you are using in the filename (i.e. 2.80 or 2.90). You cannot import an exported Grooper zip of differing major versions. Press the "Save" button.
You will then return to the previous window. Press the "Execute" button to export the file to the zip archive. The following window will appear, indicating the export was successful. Press "Ok".
You can find the zip file wherever you chose to save it.
