Saving and reusing export configurations with presets

Any configuration settings made in the export module are not saved automatically. To reuse export configurations, you need to save them as presets.

Presets are stored internally in the tx_impexp_presets table and can be included in export files by adding this table to the export.

Warning

If you have manually excluded records from export, the uid values of those exclusions are saved in the preset. This can lead to unexpected exclusions if you reuse the preset in another TYPO3 instance.

Therefore, review the excluded records in the "Configuration" tab thoroughly when you load a preset.

Saving a new preset

To save a new preset:

Go to Export > File & Preset > Presets.
Enter a Title of new preset (A.1).
Click Save (A.2).

Loading an existing preset

To load a saved preset:

Select the desired preset from Select Preset (B.1).
Click Load (B.2).

Modifying an existing preset

To modify an existing preset:

Load the preset as described above.
Make the required changes to the export settings.
Select the same preset again in Select Preset (!).
Click Save to overwrite the preset.

Managing preset visibility

Checking Public allows any TYPO3 backend user to load this preset. If left unchecked, only the creator can access the preset.
