Export workspace

You can export a workspace from one company to another or upload it to the BRIX Store catalog.

Please note that:

  • You can export a built-in workspace:
    • entirely;
    • entirely as part of a solution. You can add an entire workspace with all of its apps, business processes and widgets associated with the workspace to one solution only;
    • add some of the workspace's apps to a solution. In this case, the processes and widgets (both built-in and custom ones) associated with the workspace are not exported.

You can learn more about the details of exporting built-in workspaces in Built-in workspaces.

  • Using Global or Namespace constants in scripts restricts the export of system components. Read more about it in the Global constants in scripts article.

When you export a workspace, you export:

All these elements will be imported with the workspace to another company or uploaded to BRIX Store.

Step 1. Check workspace

At the first export step, the workspace is checked for links between the exported workspace and global objects of the system.

If such links are detected, a corresponding notification will be displayed. You will not be able to export the workspace until the links are removed manually. In case you need to keep the link to other components, we recommend that you export the workspace as part of a solution.

You will also see a warning if scripts within a workspace have optional dependencies on other workspaces or modules. Such dependencies do not prevent export, but the correct work of the scripts is not guaranteed when importing the workspace later.
