Backup

We have created a backup download tool found across all the apps. This tool allows the user to create backups of their records to be saved on their pc or whatever they want to save them.

  • Its the same tool found on all the apps, the only difference is that we auto default the filters based on which app you are on so you don't have to know what to filter

...

  • The user can at any time change the filter if you know what you are looking for

How to use

Info

The available options on the Backup Download window:

  • Filter: The user can filter for what they would like to download.
    • By default, its auto-populated based on the context you are on IF on any app besides Folio. Once user picks a filter, they would then uncheck and check the Record Selection part to refresh the list of available records for the specified filter.
  • File Type: Here the user can choose what file type they would like to download.
    • By default, Zip is selected to preserve the ids for when restoring them.
  • File Name: The user can specify the name of the zip file they will be downloading. This doesn't change the record(s) name.
  • Preserve IDs: this keeps the current ids of the selected files.
    • By default, it is selected.
  • Record Selection: This is selected by default to select all the files based on the filter. If the user only wants to download a specific file, they just select the file and it would deselect all of them. Use CTRL to select multiple record(s) if not downloading all.
