Interface functionality: saving import and export jobs

Changes* in the properties of an import or export job can be saved directly manually in its own (.imp or .exp) file from the Import job editor or Export job editor by choosing Save in the File menu or by clicking the Save button:

floppy_disk_blue

If you start running a job you'll be asked if you would like to save the job first (if the job has changed). It is mandatory to save the job before running it. Saving a job first has the added advantage that there can be no doubt later on, about which settings were used to execute the job.

You can also only save changes in selected files, by choosing File > Save all modified objects or by clicking the Save all button, in the main Axiell Designer window:

floppy_disks

In the Save objects window that opens when you click this button, you will be presented with an overview of all the unsaved files (including import and export job files) in which you made changes, and you can determine of each of these separately whether you want to save them or not, by selecting them or deselecting them. Click Yes to save the selected files. Cancel returns you to Designer.
When you close Axiell Designer while you haven't saved all changes yet, the Save objects window will automatically appear, allowing you to save your work before the application is closed.

* The nature of properties forms and lists sometimes requires you to leave a property that you just edited, before you can save it. So when you have edited your last property for today, make sure you first click some other property or tab, before you save all your work.
