Import and export

In the Administration module, the Import/Export screen gathers the account's data transfer operations: JSON export, aSc exchanges, snapshots, synchronization with external systems and API options enabled on the account. Depending on the country, exchanges based on standard protocols may also be available. For schools overseen by the French Ministry of Education, France-specific exchanges (STS, UnDeuxTemps, École Directe) are described in admin.french-formats.

JSON export

The Download button starts a full JSON export of the account. This file contains the account's data and must be treated as a sensitive backup.

The JSON export is available to all administrators. If you want to restrict access, you need the Custom roles option.

JSON import

The full JSON import uses the same format as the export. It is reserved for the Omniscol team as part of support: re-importing is done on request, not as a routine operation on the administration screen.

To restore an account, prefer snapshots when they are enabled, or contact Omniscol if a JSON re-import is necessary.

Before any destructive import, create a backup point if the feature is active.

aSc Timetables

The screen also contains an aSc Timetables section:

• import of an aSc XML file;
• aSc XML export with options.

This exchange covers a complete aSc file. To add courses from a spreadsheet, use Mass import of courses from a spreadsheet instead.

Backup points

If backup points are enabled, the Backup points button opens their management. See Backup points.
