Download in Engage Process native format (P)

Projects and diagrams can be exported to a file in the Engage Process native format. Unlike the XPDL format the native format contains all information about the project or diagram. This format can be used to exchange data between Engage Process Modeler users or to make a local backup. Files of this format can be imported back to the Engage Process Modeler using the Import from file function.

In order to export a project or some of its diagrams click on the File tab, select Save as, next Export and then Download as a file. The following dialog appears:

You can create either a file with the whole project (EMPZ) or a file containing a set of selected diagrams (EMDZ). Select one of these options and press the Next button.

.

In both cases you can decide what diagrams and folders will be included in the project or what diagrams will be included in the set:

When you export a project then all its roles, documents and custom types will be exported as all. When you export a set of process diagrams then only names of the roles, documents and custom type items that are used in the exported process diagrams will be exported. The URL property for documents and Cost/hour property are not included in the resulting file, so they will not be imported back together with the diagrams.
