This option is available when one or more files, or folders, or combination thereof is/are selected. Its availability is controlled by functional permission File System - Export.
Selecting the option displays the Browse for folder Windows file system dialog. You can choose the folder to which files are to be exported and initiate the export by clicking OK. Doing so creates an Export [n] file(s) job and displays it in the My Jobs dialog (full details of the job can be found in that interface's documentation). On the job's successful completion, an Open Folder button is displayed; clicking it opens the folder to which the file(s) was or were exported in Windows Explorer.
If more than one file is exported, all exported files are included in a zip file. If single file is exported, it is written to a single .rpf file. If the export was invoked in respect of single file that requires export of multiple files, the zip file is named '[Filename]_[DateTime]'. If invoked in respect of multiple files, the zip file is named 'RPIFileArchive_[DateTime]'.
Files are named as follows: ‘[File Name]_[GUID].rpf’, with each GUID value being unique to a specific file. Image assets’ image attachments are named ‘[File Name]_[GUID].rpa’. A file is overwritten at export if it already exists. Any dependent files are also exported - for example, if an audience contains a filter block that is configured with a selection rule, at export of the audience, the selection rule is exported at the same time.
You can also invoke Make New Folder within the Windows file system dialog, as well as being able to Cancel its display.
Note that exporting one or more files generates an audit record.
