Export a Screen
Export a Screen to your local computer. The exported Screen may then be imported to the same or another ProcessMaker instance of the same ProcessMaker version. An exported Screen may then be shared with others so they can import your Screen for their Processes.
An exported Screen contains all the controls as the original at the time the original Screen was exported.
The exported Screen has the .json file extension.
Your user account or group membership must have the following permissions to export a Screen unless your user account has the Make this user a Super Admin setting selected:
Screens: Export Screens
Screens: View Screens
See the Screens permissions or ask your Administrator for assistance.
Follow these steps to export a Screen:
​View your Screens. The Screens page displays.
Click the Export icon
for your Screen. The following message displays: You are about to export a Screen. All the configurations of the screen will be exported. ​
​Click Download, and then browse for the location on your local computer to save the exported Screen.
By default, ProcessMaker exports the Screen using the original Screen name except spaces in the name are replaced with underscores (
_). The file has the file extension.json. Rename the default file name if necessary, though do not change the file extension. As a best practice, specify in the file name that this is an exported Screen to distinguish it from other exported assets.Specify a directory location to save the file. ProcessMaker exports the
.jsonfile to your local computer. The following message displays when the Screen exports successfully: The screen was exported.
