Procedure documentationExporting a Model Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

You can save a model as a GML (Generic Modeling Language) file so that it can subsequently be imported into another model or into a different Visual Composer Storyboard. You can save the file on your local hard drive, on a computer in your network or in your workspace on the Visual Composer server.

Prerequisites

The model is open in Storyboard, at the level to be exported.

Procedure

  1. Choose   Model   Export to File  . The system checks the integrity of the model while it displays an Exporting message. The File Download dialog box is then displayed.

  2. In response to the Do you want to save this file? message, click Save. The standard Windows Save As dialog box is displayed.

  3. Use the Save in drop-down list to navigate to the location at which the .gml file is to be saved, and in the File name text box at the bottom, indicate the name under which the model should be saved.

  4. Click OK.

Result

The model is saved as a .gml file that can be imported into other Visual Composer models, using the   Model   Import from File   option.

Note Note

Visual Composer has no way of validating that imported models were not modified outside of Visual Composer. In order to enable such validation, you need to use a digital signature mechanism.
