Import and export of projects and entries

+
+

Import

+

The import of projects (from another labfolder instance or from another logbook software) is only possible via the labfolder API. An import of labfolder-own projects via webinterface is not possible to date. You can find the API documentation here:

+
+
Version 1: http://labfolder.rz-berlin.mpg.de:9091/api/v1
+
Version 2: https://labfolder.rz-berlin.mpg.de/api/v2/docs/development.html
+
+

Version 2 is still in the development phase.

+
+
+

Export

+

Exporting projects (or just single entries) is possible in three different formats: PDF, XHTML and JSON. The export as PDF can be done from within a project …

+_images/export_of_projects.png +

… or from the project overview (Manage > Projects):

+_images/export_of_projects2.png +

The XHTML export can be done via the settings:

+_images/export_xhtml.png +

However, to use this type of export it has to be installed first in the Manage > Apps section. By means of the XHTML export all projects that one owns will be exported. A detailled selection of projects or entries to be exported is not possible. As soon as the export process is finished a download link appears in the settings in Data exports. The downloadable ZIP file contains all images and files along with an index.html file that contains information about all entries. You could open and view the index.html file in a browser similar to the view in labfolder.

+

The JSON export is only useable via the API endpoint GET /entries. However, at the moment the response only contains useful information such as dates and tags. The author name is hidden behind the author ID and the entry text content is completely missing.
