Exporting and Importing MetaBlocks

You can use MetaBlocks to bundle Connectors, Dashboards, Actions, SmartLabels, and Saved Queries for export and import. This allows you to easily share content between Lucidum systems and use consistent content across all Lucidum systems.

Exporting a MetaBlock #

When you export a MetaBlock, Lucidum sends a .json file to the downloads directory on the local computer. The .json file includes the MetaBlock and all its content. You can then import the .json file into other Lucidum systems.

To export a MetaBlock:

1. Go to the MetaBlocks page (Left menu > MetaBlocks icon).
2. Find the MetaBlock you want to export.
3. Click the Export (down arrow) icon.

   

4. The MetaBlock is exported to a file named <MetaBlock name>_.json and stored in the downloads directory of the local computer. In this example, the MetaBlock is stored in a file named Laptops_and_Desktops

Importing a MetaBlock #

You can import a .json file for a MetaBlock. When you import the .json file, the MetaBlock and all its contents are imported on to your Lucidum system.

To import a MetaBlock:

1. Go to the MetaBlocks page (Left menu > MetaBlocks icon).
2. Click the Import Metablock (up arrow) icon.

   

3. The Import MetaBlocks modal page appears.

   

4. In the Import MetaBlocks modal, choose one of the following:
   • Skip. Will not duplicate existing content with the same name and will instead skip importing any duplicate content.
   • Overwrite. Overwrites any existing content with the same name.
   • Test. Test the import file for errors:
     • If the test is successful, you can then import the file
     • If the test detects errors, you can quickly see details about the errors
5. Click Choose File and navigate to the .json file you want to import.
6. After successful import, you should see the new MetaBlock and all its content in your Lucidum system.
