How to backup Templates in FlinQ Studio

 

In FlinQ studio there is an option to save the templates where the devices are listed. There are two types of back-up to make within the templates.

  1. The Placeholders in the device, this will be exported to an CSV file.

  2. The behavior of the device, this is locked by the XML of the device.

Open the second tab “Advanced”

On the left, you can select the Template you will save. For the placeholders, you can export to CSV. This export includes all the placeholders, including the [Variables] like an IP address or a name of the device. When you select “Export to CSV” you will be asked by an windows doc where you would save the file.

For the behavior of the device, you need to export the Template Device XML. When you select “Export to XML” you will be asked by an windows doc where you would save the file.
