How to Export and Import Ushurs?

You can share created Ushurs from one account to another. This means you can get information for another account with all the configurations, variables, features, and settings to a new location. This saves the time and effort of recreating all of it along with the features from scratch. This is particularly useful when you are trying to move the instance from a Quality Assurance (QA) instance to a production instance.

Note

UFO (or Ushur File Object) is the file type for exporting a Ushur.

1. Select the Ushur and go into the Edit Ushur screen.

   This displays the option to either create a new Ushur or import an existing one.

Notes

1. The existing Ushur with the same name cannot be replaced with the Import option. You will need to delete the existing Ushur and then initiate the import action.

2. Initiated activities from the previous instances or accounts will not appear in the new Ushur location.

3. An Ushur will be created or can use the existing Application context as captured during the export.

4. If an existing Ushur needs to be replaced without losing the initiated activities (history of the engagements), get in touch with the Ushur team, to get the migration done without losing data.

5. LI training needs to be initiated in the new Ushur; every module related to LI needs to be retained.

6. The export will not copy the following. You can manually update this after the Ushur is copied:

   1. Pull/Push tags

   2. Contacts

   3. Settings

   4. Topics and Phrases (you need to initiate a new training)
