How to Export Work Orders using Database Management
The articles in this section of the Knowledge Base involve importing and exporting from the Database Management window. For general information regarding the Database Management tool, or how to access it, see Database Management Utilities (Overview).
This simplified article provides a brief tutorial for exporting Work Orders using the Database Management Utility.
All records associated with the selected Work Order(s) are transferred by default.
Select the Work Orders tab > select the Work Order(s) to be exported > accept the file to be exported to or browse for a different location.
Additional Options
When exporting Processing Stations, the following Additional Options are available:
- Zip Exported Items – Check this box to create a compressed zip file named the same as the folder selected for the export files. The zip file contains the same files as the subfolders created in the folder designated for the export files and is located at the same level as the folder selected.
- Delete Work Orders After Export – Check this box to delete all selected project records and their dependent children after export. This also deletes the folder structure on disc.
Once everything has been selected for export, and any desired additional options included, select Transfer.
Resolving Duplicates
When the file being exported to is empty, or lacking a MicrovellumFactory.sdf database, a database is automatically created with the exported data inside. When the file being exported to already has a MicrovellumFactory.sdf database, and this database features duplicate information, the Resolve Duplicate Names window appears. When there is no duplicate information, the data being exported is appended to the database.
There are three options to resolve duplicate names:
- Skip – Does not change the existing item, and an additional item is not added. The item is ignored.
- Replace – Replaces the item in the target location that has the duplicate name.
- Keep Both – Appends to the target location. A new name must be given to the item.
Export Folder Structure
A MicrovellumFactory.sdf database file is created containing the work orders exported and various other tables of data. A folder is also created for each work order being exported within the folder selected containing the batches, nest drawings, G-Code files, DXF files, and individual work order databases.
