Export Survey Definition

Surveys can be exported and imported through XML. The feature allows users to transfer Survey definitions, report definitions and individual report definitions from one Authoring server to another.

You can take advantage of Authoring’s XML Web Services directly from the output of the Survey XML Export. This makes integration of Surveys with other systems much easier for customers developing solutions as the Survey XML Export supports Authoring XML Web Services’ object structure.

To export a Survey:

1. Activate the survey (select it from the survey list).
2. In the Designer menu, click Export Survey Definition.

The Survey Definition Export overlay opens - as shown below.

3. Set the recipient's email address as required (default is the current user (you)) and add a comment as necessary, then click Export Survey Definition.

The Survey Definition will be sent in the format of a zipped XML file (.zip) attached to an email, to the address specified.

• The XML format does not allow the use of <![CDATA[ ] ]> tags.
