Import and export a data field configuration

Updated this week

There might be situations where we want to reuse the settings for a particular data field, which requires us to export and import a data field configuration. This tutorial will show you how.

To export a data field configuration

  • Select a data field in the original task.

  • Click Export Data Fields to save the configuration to a local disk.

    The data fields will be saved in a .oec (Octopus extract config) file.
