Export — If on, documents in the
selected folder or
work area will be locked, and then managed
copies of the locked documents will be downloaded to the export folder
specified on the next page of the wizard. Exported documents can be edited and
later imported using
. The
Export option is typically used when you
need to edit documents outside of ProjectWise. If you do not need these documents edited,
consider using
Send to Folder instead.
-
Send to Folder — If on, no documents are
locked, and unmanaged copies of documents of the selected folder or
work area will be downloaded to the export
folder specified on the next page of the wizard. You can download an unmanaged
copy of any document to which you have access, even if the documents are
currently checked out or exported. Because
Send to Folder does not lock the
documents in ProjectWise, you cannot later import any changes you might
make to these documents. If you need to edit documents outside of ProjectWise, use the
Export option instead.

-
Export folder — Specifies the location
to which the files in the folder or
work area will be downloaded. To select
the target folder, either type in the field or click the Browse button to the
right of the field, select a target folder, then click OK. The next time you
run the Folder Export Wizard, it will remember the name of the last folder you
downloaded to. If you type a location that does not exist, it will be created
upon export.
-
Create subfolders for empty folders — If
there are empty subfolders or sub-work areas in the folder or
work area you are exporting, turning this
option on will create those subfolders in the target folder.
-
Create subfolder for selected folder —
If on, the folder or
work area you selected to export, upon
export, becomes a subfolder of the target folder. If off, the documents at the
root of the selected folder or
work area, and any subfolders or sub-work
areas, are exported to the root of target folder. If you have selected the
entire
Documents root folder to export, this
option is disabled.
Note: For legacy reasons ProjectWise will let you create a folder name that contains
the
"\" character. However,
"\" is an invalid character for folder names
on the Windows file system, therefore if you export a ProjectWise folder that contains
"\" in the name, it will split the folders
in two, the latter becoming a subfolder of the former. For example, if the
folder name is
"DGNS\DWGS" in ProjectWise, then upon export,
" DWGS" will become a subfolder of
"DGNS" on the local file system.
-
Use folder descriptions as folder names
— If on, subfolders are created in the target folder using the description of
the source folder or
work area instead of the name of the
folder or
work area. This option only works if
Create subfolder for selected folder is
selected; if not selected, only subfolders are named using the folder
description.
-
Copy reference documents into master document
folder — (Send to Folder only) If on, the
references of a master document are downloaded to the same folder to which the
master document is exported, even if the reference documents are located in a
different source folder than the master document. Turning this option on turns
off the next option,
Export child documents which are not included in
exporting hierarchy to the special folder. Note that this option
only applies to reference documents; it does not apply to linked documents.
-
Export child documents which are not included in
exporting hierarchy to the special folder — If the folder or
work area you are exporting has master
documents, and those master documents have reference documents that are not in
the folder or
work area you are exporting (or any of its
subfolders or sub-work areas), turning this option on will export those
reference documents to the folder you specify. This export folder must be
different from the export folder specified in the Export folder field. Click
the Browse button to select the export folder for these reference documents.
Note that this option only applies to reference documents; it does not apply to
linked documents. When using
Send to Folder, turning this option on
turns off the previous option,
Copy reference documents into master document
folder.
-
Update documents to use local paths for references
and links — If on, all file paths to references and links in the
exported documents will be rewritten to point to the file system folder to
which the referenced and linked documents were exported. This option is useful
when the referenced and linked documents you are exporting are in a different
folder than the exported master document. This option is not needed and should
be turned off if the referenced and link documents are in the same source
folder as the master document.

| Review folder export results page
|
Displays the results of the export. In particular,
this page displays a very short message if the export was successful ("Folder was successfully exported"), and provides details for
any errors that may have occurred during export.

Finish — Closes the wizard.
