Export and import of data in Testify

Content creation Creation of entities is possible either directly in Testify by manual creation or by export/import. Using the context menu (the three dots) on the top right of the respective entity in the administration area, an Excel list can be generated exported or uploaded imported for download.

This function is currently available for the following entities:

• Test object types and test objects

• Equipment types and Equipment

• Issue categories

• Users

• Groups

An empty (or pre-filled) exported Excel list can be manually filled with the desired content and then imported again, so that Testify is supplemented with this data. This is especially convenient and efficient when multiple contents are to be imported at once.

To ensure that only those cells are updated for which there is new data, the following rule exists:

• Cell has a value: new value is saved

• Cell has no value: old value of the cell is kept

• Cell has value {clear}: old cell value is deleted

• Optional columns: If an entire column is not to be changed, the column can be deleted in the Excel file and all entries remain unchanged.

General information about creating new entities via Excel import.

• By selecting "Export" the existing entities (if any) will be downloaded. This Excel file can also be used as a template for another import. By selecting "Import" an empty import template can be downloaded.

  The ID of the respective entity is unique and is automatically generated by the system during import. By exporting again, the ID is displayed.

• Partially it can be deposited whether these are active or inactive, whereby active stands for 1 and inactive for 0.

• The new entity must be titled and described at least in the stored client language. Additional languages are possible. To add additional translations, a column with the desired language can be added. The locale codes are as follows:
