Once a program has been exported, it can be imported into another system. The exported file is a zipped JSON file, and this is the only type of file that can be imported. To import a program:
In the Digital Feedback Programs page, click the down-arrow button beside the Add Program button, and select Import Program Definition.
A standard file selection dialog opens.
Browse to and select the definition file you wish to import, and click Open.
The program definition is added to the Programs list with the same name as the original program. The new program will be given the next consecutive program id number and the publication code snippet will therefore be different compared to the original.
You can now open the program and edit it as required.
Note If surveys that are registered in the program do not exist or if the current user does not have access to them, they will be listed as “undefined” and attempts to publish the program will fail. You will in this case need to register a valid survey and update the reference to it.
Exporting A Program Definition
You may need to transfer a Digital Feedback program to another Forsta system, or you may wish to make for example a backup copy. To do this you can export the program.
In the Digital feedback Programs list, find the program you wish to export, click its Actions icon (
), and select Export from the drop-down menu.
The file is zipped and downloaded to your computer’s default download folder. The exported file is a zipped JSON file, and this is the only type of file that can be imported into Digital Feedback. The file name will be programxxxx.zip, where xxxx is the program id number. Note that if a file of the same name already exists in the download folder, subsequent exports of that program will be denoted with (1), (2) etc. after the program id.
The file can now be moved or copied to another system as necessary, and imported into Digital feedback
