Export an app

You can export an app to move it from one company to another.

Please note, that:

A system app cannot be exported as a separate system component. It can be exported as part of a workspace or solution and has its own features and limitations. If other apps and workspaces have links to the system app, they can be exported.

If a custom app has links to global system objects, namely other apps, workspaces, or business processes, an error will occur when exporting it.

Using Global or Namespace constants in scripts restricts the export of system components. Read more about it in the Global constants in scripts article.

When you export an app, all of the following items are exported:

• Business processes.
• Configured statuses and filters.
• Counters.
• Document categorization scheme if registration is enabled in the app.
• Groups and roles.
• Forms and context variables used in business processes.
• Button settings.
• Access permissions to the app and its data set up for system groups and roles.

All of these elements will be imported with the app to the other company.

Step 1.Check the app

At the first export step, the app is checked for links to global system objects.

If such links are detected, a corresponding notification is displayed. You will not be able to export the workspace until the links are removed manually.

You will also see a warning if the app scripts have optional dependencies from other workspaces or modules. Such dependencies do not prevent export, but the correct operation of the scripts is not guaranteed when the app is imported later.

If there are no links to global system objects, the following notification is displayed:

To continue export, click Next.

Step 2. Export the app

Enter the app’s name and description.

• Description. Describe the features and specifics of the app.

Click Next to continue export.

The app will be exported to a file. To save the file to your PC, click on the link in the provided window.

Later you will be able to import the file to another company.
