Interface functionality: accessing the import and export job managers and editors

Contents

To access an import or export job in Axiell Designer, you have to open the Import job manager or the Export job manager, depending on the type of jobs you are looking for. (Note that import and export jobs cannot be found with the Application browser.)

In the job managers the import or export jobs located in the current work folder are listed. From here, you can open an existing job (or more than one) in the Import job editor or Export job editor, create a new job, or perform some other related functionality.
Follow these steps:

In the main Axiell Designer window that opens when you start Designer, start the Import job manager by choosing View > Import job manager or clicking the button for this tool:

Or start the Export job manager by choosing View > Export job manager or clicking the button for this tool:

Note that you can only have one of the managers opened at the same time.

Select your work folder in a job manager window, by clicking the Change working folder button:

Choose the \data subfolder of your (copy of an) Collections application folder, since import and export jobs are normally saved in this folder.
The present jobs in the selected folder are immediately listed.

The properties of an import or export job can be viewed and edited in the Import job editor or Export job editor. You can open the appropriate editor from a job manager in different ways:
- double-click an existing job in the list;
- right-click an existing job in the list, and choose Open in the pop-up menu;
- start a new job either by choosing File > New, right-clicking the list and choosing New in the pop-up menu, or by clicking the button for it:
