4.1        Import and Export

4G:PLM provides powerful capabilities to import and export data. The import and export functions operate with text files that have defined field names and separators. For example, you can use comma-separated values for easy interoperability with programs like Microsoft Excel.

Import and export by default work with certain staging directories. You can change these defaults by going to the 4G:PLMAdmin” menu and selecting “Working Directory”:

Important note on privileges: you can only export objects that you have the right to discover and read. You can only import objects if you have the right to create them or – for object updates – modify them. You cannot import data that would overwrite any released objects.
