Exporting a library configuration

You can export a method configuration and all its method plug-ins or export one or more method configuration specifications.

To create a method configuration, see Creating new method configurations) and then use the procedure described below to export this configuration as a method library. When exporting method configurations, all referenced method plug-ins in the selected configuration will be included in the export. The export will scan all elements of the method configuration and will also export all resource files, including images, documents, and templates.

Tip: You could use this export to “clean” your library from unused resource files, by creating a method configuration that includes all your plug-ins and then exporting. As a result, all unused resource file will not be exported.

In addition to exporting the method configuration, you could simply export a method configuration specification file that you want to share with other users. In other words, a file that defines a configuration, but does not contain the elements that are part of the configuration itself.
