Import Metadata Objects
AnalyticsCreator supports importing metadata objects from external files or from the cloud. This is useful when reusing components across projects, loading previously exported definitions, or synchronizing work across multiple environments or developers.
| ID | Import Action | What It Does | Access Path |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Import Macro from File | Loads one or more macros from a local file into the current repository. Useful for sharing transformation logic. | Navigation Tree → Macros → Right-click → Import from File |
| 2 | Import Macro from Cloud | Retrieves macros stored in cloud-based repositories or shared environments. | Navigation Tree → Macros → Right-click → Import from Cloud |
| 3 | Import Script from File | Imports SQL or workflow scripts from local disk into the relevant script category (pre, post, workflow, etc.). | Navigation Tree → Scripts → Right-click on script type → Import from File |
| 4 | Import Script from Cloud | Retrieves scripts previously saved to the cloud (e.g., as part of repository synchronization). | Navigation Tree → Scripts → Right-click on script type → Import from Cloud |
| 5 | Import Model from File | Loads a semantic model (facts, dimensions, KPIs) from a local model definition file into the repository. | Navigation Tree → Models → Right-click → Import from File |
| 6 | Import Model from Cloud | Retrieves a model definition stored in the cloud for reuse or collaboration. | Navigation Tree → Models → Right-click → Import from Cloud |
Imported metadata becomes part of the repository and can be deployed, edited, or included in packages like any manually created object.
