Exporting and importing case definitions
A case definition is a collection of configurations and definitions, such as the document definition, process definitions, forms, form flows and process links. These case definitions can be exported as a ZIP archive, so it can be imported via the UI, added to the repository or shared with others.
Export
Exporting can be done by navigating to the case definition detail page and pressing the export button (see image below). This will result in a ZIP archive containing configurations and definitions that make up the case definition. The structure is the same as found in any application that makes use of the auto-deployment offered by Valtimo.
