The import tool in Elipse E3 reads information about objects from a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file, and recreates them in the configuration environment (Elipse E3 Studio). For each object, users can get information on properties, Links, and collection items.

The export tool in Elipse E3 stores information about selected objects from the configuration environment (Elipse E3 Studio) into a CSV file. For each object, users can store its properties, Links, and collection items. Therefore, users can:

•Create new Elipse E3 objects from a CSV file, as long as these objects are not direct child objects of the project or library

•Import or export any property from any type of Elipse E3 object

•Import or export any type of Link from Elipse E3 objects

•Export any type of Elipse E3's objects collection and import their properties

•Import or export any type of item from Elipse E3's objects collection

Any Elipse E3 object can be imported or exported. The selected object for this operation is called the root object. So, users can import or export a Data Folder with user-defined XObjects, for example, or even export a Screen, listing all its child objects.

In addition to objects, Links and collections can also be imported and exported. Users have the option to inform whether they want to import or export Links and collections.
