Export/Import Schema-Query

Hi @Leslie,

The schema mapping name is actually contained inside of the export file. The name of the exported schema mapping file is actually irrelevant to the importing process. I’m sorry for the confusion!

What you’ll need to do is the following:

Step 1: Open the exported schema mapping in a plain text editor. At Specify, we use Notepad++ for Windows and BBEdit for macOS. You cannot use Microsoft Word for this process since it has to be plain XML.

Step 2: Change the name value in the second line of the document.

<query  name="Discourse mapping" contextName="CollectionObject" contextTableId="1" isFavorite="true" named="true" ordinal="32767" appversion="6.8.01" smushed="false" searchSynonymy="false" selectDistinct="false" countOnly="false" formatAuditRecIds="false">

You can see now that my schema mapping name has been changed to Discourse mapping.

Step 3: Import the mapping in Specify 6!

Now that the name has bene changed inside the document, Specify 6 recognizes it as a new mapping! It now is independent from the other mappings in your list.

Let me know if I can help you further or if you have any questions.
