Exporting and Importing Custom Properties

You can edit the values for custom properties that you add to packaged or universal model classes and business name properties using Microsoft Excel. Export custom properties and business name properties from the metadata catalog to an Excel file. Use the Excel file to edit values for the properties, and then import the properties from the Excel file into the metadata catalog.

The Excel file contains a worksheet for each object type you export. Each worksheet contains properties for all metadata objects for a specific object type.

The following table describes the content of each worksheet:

Row or Column Name	Description
Export Root Path	Metadata catalog root path for the metadata objects in the worksheet. Do not edit the Export Root Path.
Class Identifier	Name and path of the class in the Metadata Manager repository for the metadata objects in the worksheet. Do not edit the Class Identifier.
Element ID	Resource and object name for a metadata object. Metadata Manager displays the Element ID in the following format: <resource name>.<object name>.
Element Path	Hierarchical path for a metadata object in the metadata catalog.
Business Name	Business name property for a metadata object.
Custom Attribute Name	Custom property for a metadata object.
