Importing/Exporting Entire Projects

The Import Projects window allows you to import an entire project into the current database.

To access the Import Projects window, choose the Projects option in the Import/Export Wizard.

In the Select Repository to Import From area, specify the Synthesis database that you want to import from; the drop-down list shows recently used databases, or you can click the Browse icon (...) to browse for a database. This can be a standard database (*.rsrp), a compressed standard database (*.rsgz) or an enterprise database connection file (*.rserp).

The projects in the selected database will be displayed in the list. You can use the filter area above the table to refine which projects are displayed.

You can choose an existing filter from the drop-down list. To create a new filter, click the Create New Filter icon. To edit the filter that is currently being used, click the Edit Current Filter icon. To delete the filter that is currently being used, click the Delete Current Filter icon. This will delete the filter entirely; there is no undo for delete. If you want to keep the filter for future use and simply stop using it right now, choose a different filter from the drop-down list. The Default Filter option shows all project in the database.

You can also search for projects by entering text in the Find field. The list updates dynamically to show only the projects with names that contain the text that you have entered.

Select the check box for each project that you would like to import into the current database. You can also select or clear the check box in the header to select or clear all of the check boxes for the individual projects.

Click OK to import the selected project(s).

If you select to import a project that has the same name as a project that already exists in the current database, the imported project will be renamed as "(name of project)_[increment]." For example, if your current database contains a project named "Project 1" and you select to import a project named "Project 1" from another database, then the imported "Project 1" will be renamed to "Project 1_1."

Exporting works similarly to importing.
