Exporting and importing views
Introduced in 2024.2
Along with sharing your local data views with other users, users with the Personal View Management permission can export a view definition in JSON format and let other users import that view to the appropriate data grid. This feature simplifies the process of transferring views between users or databases, making collaboration, testing, and troubleshooting significantly easier. This article explains how to export and import view definitions.
To export a view:
-
Display the data view you want to export. For details, see Displaying views.
-
Click on the view name, then More > Export View. A JSON file containing the view definition will be downloaded to your computer.
INFO: For details, see What gets exported and what does not below.
To import a view:
-
Open the data grid that will contain the imported view.
-
Click on the view name, then More > Import View.
-
Select the JSON file containing the view definition from your computer.
-
Confirm import. The view will be added as a personal view (not shared).
NOTE: If a view with the same name already exists, (1) will be added to the new view's name.
