Exporting and importing subfolders

It is possible to import a complex Kronodoc folder structure in one operation from a comma-separated values (CSV) file that contains the folder names and their relationships to one another. The file is known as a PBS file and its format is described in Understanding PBS files. All workspace users can import and export folder structures, depending on their access rights in the workspace.

The folder structure of a Kronodoc workspace can also be exported for use in another applications or for later import back to Kronodoc. The structure is exported as a PBS file with MIME type application/x-csv that contains a comma-separated list of the workspace folders.

To export subfolders:

1. View the property page of the parent folder from which you want to export the subfolders. The current folder will be the root folder of the exported structure.
2. On the ribbon, in the Folder group, click Export subfolders. Your browser's File Download dialog box appears.

Note    Your web browser will attempt to download a PBS (CSV) file to your computer. If your browser's security settings block the download, you might need to adjust the settings and retry this procedure.

3. Click Open to open the file immediately without saving it first or click Save to save the file for later viewing. The archive file downloads to your computer.

To import subfolders:
