Exporting and Importing ​

You can export a Module in your Flow configuration as a Template. Templates can then be combined into Packages. You can also create Connectors which a special type of Package.

When exporting a Module, all Modules that it is dependant on are also exported to the Template. When the Template is imported it therefore recreates the Module, and all its dependant modules, so it is an exact copy of the original Module and is ready to be used immediately. For example if you export a DB Definition, then the DB Connections associated to it will also be exported to the Template.
