Create an export configuration

You can define the content you want to download from Inspire using export configurations. You'll need to specify the type of component in Source Components and, within that component, which referenced content you want to export.

Required permissions

You must have administrator permissions to work with export configurations.

If you go to the top menu and can see the Administration option, then you have the necessary permissions.
If you can't see the Administration menu, contact your local administrator.

Tips and Tricks

You must create your own XSLT that can transform the XML structure in the files you want to export.
You must import your XSLT into Inspire to add it to an export configuration. Follow the steps in Import components.
You can create a Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) export configuration to send Inspire files to your SFTP server. Follow the steps in: Create an SFTP export configuration
After you create an export configuration, you can save it under a new name. Follow the steps in Save an export configuration with a new name.
For more information on relations and source components, read Configure what content is exported.
For help on using a plugin, follow the steps in Configure plugin parameters.

To create an export configuration:

From the Administration menu, select Export configuration.
On the Export configuration tab, click Create.
On the Details tab, in Name, enter a unique title for this export configuration in 50 or fewer characters.
On the Details tab, specify any optional information:

2. In Export Type, select Standard, Publish, Translation, or Compare Content.
  If you don't select an export type, Inspire defaults to Standard for your export configuration.
3. If you don't want users to see this configuration when exporting, publishing, or translating components, clear the Active checkbox.
4. To use this export configuration automatically when users export, publish, or translate components, select the Default option. Keep in mind that users can select an option other than the default.
  Note: Inspire users who click Publish automatically see this export configuration selected in the Publish Configuration drop-down box.
  - If you don't select the Default option for any export configurations and only one export configuration is defined for that type, that one configuration is used.
  - If you don't select the Default option for any export configurations and there are multiple export configurations for this Export Type, the first default configuration in the list is used.
  - If you select the Default option for multiple export configurations for this Export Type, the first default configuration in the list is used.
