Select kinds of objects to export

Characteristics

If the Enterprise Folder option is selected, all Characteristics found in that folder, and optionally subfolders if Include subfolders checkbox is checked,  will be exported.

If the Specific object option is selected,  you will be able to select the specific Characteristics you want to export.
  

Labels

If the Enterprise Folder option is selected, all Labels found in that folder, and optionally subfolders if Include subfolders check box is checked, will be exported.

If the Specific object option is selected,  you will be able to select the specific Labels you want to export.

Data Entry Setups

If the Enterprise Folder option is selected, all Data Entry Setups found in that folder will be exported.

If the Specific object option is selected,  you will be able to select the specific Data Entry Setups you want to export.

Data Entry Setups offers two additional options:

Export DES Labels

If this option is checked, the Labels defined within the exported Data Entry Setup will be exported, in addition to the Data Entry Setup data.

Export DES Characteristics

If this option is checked, the Characteristics defined within the exported Data Entry Setup will be exported,  in addition to the Data Entry Setup data.

OK button

Once the objects to be exported are selected, click OK. The Browse for Folder dialog box displays. Navigate to the folder into which you want to export your objects. You can select the folder by two methods:

Select folder through tree control.

Enter path to folder through the edit box.

Cancel button

Select the Cancell button to close the DES Export dialog box without making any selections.

Destination Directory and File Format

Destination Folder

Select a destination folder for your exported content.

Note: Existing files in the folder that have the same name will be overwritten without warning.





File Format

 File names will  automatically be created, based on the object names.

Unsupported file name characters will be replaced with underscores.

A file sequence number will be appended to the base name of the generated files.

Characteristics within a folder are named based on the folder name, followed by _FLD_Chars.

Labels within a folder are named based on the folder name, followed by _FLD_Labels.

Data Entry Setups within a folder are named based on the folder name, followed by _DES

Characteristics within a specific data entry setup are named based on data entry setup name, followed by _Chars

Labels within a specific data entry setup are named based on data entry setup name, followed by _Labels

A specific Characteristic export is named based on characteristic name, followed by _Chars

A specific Label export is named based on label name, followed by _Labels

When you import the files back into the Statistica speadsheet, you will be able to select which files to import, or choose to import all files in a selected folder.

New versus replacement

If the system path and object name match an existing object, then the existing object will be updated.

If the system path exists, but the object name does not exist, then a new object will be created in that system path location.  

If the system path does not exist, the import will generate an error for that object rather than automatically adding a system folder.
