Import and Export
Maptaskr Power Maps provides administrators with a flexible way to manage app configurations across different environments using the Export & Import feature. This functionality allows you to back up, transfer, or replicate your configuration settings with ease.
Exporting Configurations
When exporting, you can choose which specific sections of your Maptaskr configuration to include in the export. The following configuration types are available for selection:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Authentication Profiles | Security and login settings for connecting to external services. |
| Basemap Layers | The default and custom basemaps available in your maps. |
| Configuration Profiles | Environment-specific map control profile configurations. |
| Layers | Layers and their settings used within your maps. |
| Resources (Language Packs) | Localization files for supporting multiple languages. |
| Service Providers | Integrations and connections to external GIS or data services. |
After making your selections, the system generates a ZIP file containing the chosen configuration data. This file can be safely stored as a backup or used to migrate settings to another environment.
Export duration depends on the size and number of items selected. Large exports can take several minutes and the progress may appear idle at times. Please be patient and keep the window open until the download completes.
Importing Configurations
To import a previously exported ZIP file into your target environment:
- Select Import Configuration and choose the ZIP file.
- Review the selected file name and the import warning.
- Select I accept that importing a configuration may replace existing data in my environment. The Import button remains unavailable until you accept this warning.
- Select Import to start processing the file.
- Monitor the import log for progress and the final success or failure status.
During the import, Maptaskr Power Maps will:
- Create new configuration items if they do not already exist.
- Update existing configuration items if they are present in the import file.
- Preserve any existing configuration items that are not included in the import file (they will not be deleted).
This ensures that your environment is updated with the latest configuration data without risking accidental data loss.
Importing a configuration may replace existing data in your environment. If the file imports layers or basemaps with offline regions, take those regions offline again after the import.
After importing, review your configuration to ensure all settings have been applied as expected. Existing configuration items that are not included in the import file are not deleted.
