4. Editors
5. Viewers
6. Pages
7. Panels

Warning

When you add users to the editors/viewers list, there is no check if the users that you add actually exist.

Export

It is possible to export apps. We highly recommend enabling the option to export as a package, as this will try and collect all the used custom operators and action scripts and include them in the package.

As of version 1.0.0.5, this script will also search through the GQI queries to look for used DOM modules and include them in the package as well.

From version 1.0.0.6 onwards, you can enable an option to also include DOM instances in the package.

From version 1.0.0.9 onwards, the used images are included in the package as well.

Overview of included items

• Custom operators
• Configured action scripts
• Dependencies of the used scripts
• DOM modules
• Images

Note

When exporting an app from one DMA to another, make sure the versions match (for example the GQI versions).

Import

This is used to import apps that have not been exported as a package. These will not include any of the custom scripts.

Warning

If you want to import .dmapp packages, you cannot do it with this import. You will need to use the client test tool.

Delete

You can delete apps as well.
