QW QLM - Exporting and Importing on Qualiware

The document delivers an overview of the porting methods which are available in both Qualiware Web and Qualiware Lifecycle Manager (QLM).

Exporting

Export All: 

A user can export entire repository data/objects within one load. 

Export Subset: 

A user can export a subset or partial data from a repository. It is useful when a user knows exactly which diagrams or objects are needed. 

Export to XML /Export XML Subset:

Export to XML allows a user to receive data in a spreadsheet/XML format to use outside of QualiWare.

ExternalDocument 

A template that allows to connect to an external file and store it within a repository.
