11. Exporting to the App
Once you’ve completed the previous steps you’ll be able to export the data you’ve created to the App. When you do the first export you will be exporting with quite a few options that generally speaking only need to be exported once (you may not be changing them in the future, or very infrequently). The App uses an existing exported dataset until a new dataset is exported (replacing any existing data). In this way you can work on new updates to your shared information while Members see the latest information you’ve shared with them
- Select the Datasets menu option
- Select the set of data items to export. You generally only need to select those items that you’ve changed or added new items from. Remember to do this if you delete items too! See the Notes at the foot of this page for more information on this
- Select ‘Export’
TL/DR
What is It?: Export selection Form
Appears: Under the Dataset Menu
What’s it for?: Sharing your information and content to the Clanns Online App

Notes:
Make sure you’ve completed all previous steps
If you miss a step the App may not load
You can select ‘All’ to select all of the above, or ‘None’ to deselect any selection that’s previously made
You’ll see an ‘Export Complete’ message when the files have been exported. You do not need to download these as the App will fetch these exported files for you
Note: You only need to export any section that has changed. We’ve changed all of the above sections so we must export these. Generally there are a few sections that are set once, then you can forget about them – News Categories and Card Groups, for example. If you only add a new news item all you need to export is ‘News’
If you have the App already running, and you export any data file through this mechanism, simply return your app to the main or secondary menu and then hit the App Home button. This will put the App into the background. Tap on the App Icon on your device to re-start the App. When the App restarts like this it re-fetches all the data files and will pick up any changes that have been made
