About Exporting Metadata

You can export metadata to a flat file in a .csv (comma-delimited) or .txt (tab-delimited or other delimiter character) format.

These artifacts are supported in an export:

  • Dimensions

  • Smart Lists

  • Exchange rates (See .)

The application creates an export file for each artifact (.txt or .csv, depending on the file type), and all export files are consolidated into one zip file. You must extract the .csv or .txt files from the zip file if you want to use the files as import files (for example, when importing into another application).

Note:

Only characters that are included in the UTF-8 character set are supported in export or import files. Characters that aren't included in the UTF-8 character set are considered invalid. For dimension name restrictions, see Naming Restrictions for Dimensions, Members, and Aliases.
