Configuration import/export

Should you wish to store a backup of your app configuration, we offer the ability to export and import your configuration.

The exported file contains the following configuration details:

• Product configuration, including authentication token, address datasets, timeout, output format, etc.
• Additional data selections
• Mapped fields
• Advanced API value mappings, set up using Text, OptionSet or Lookup maps
• Customizations to the Choices shipped with the solution - edq_country, edq_dataset and edq_countryphonecodes

Export configuration

1. Go to the Experian Data Validation Configuration Power App.
2. Select the Products page from the left menu.
3. Click Export configuration in the top menu.
4. A JSON file containing the current configuration is generated and downloaded.

Delete dependencies

If you intend to export your configuration and delete the solution afterwards, we offer the ability to automatically remove all solution dependencies, with the exception of those related to Power Pages websites. These are handled separately.

Accessing the import/export UI via a URL

We offer an alternative way of accessing the configuration import/export feature if you are unable to access the configuration app. A very minimal version of the user interface can be accessed directly via the following URL:

https://<environment-name>.crm<n>.dynamics.com/WebResources/edq_import_export_ui

• <environment-name> is the name of your Power Platform environment.
• <n> is a region-specific number which is sometimes present (e.g. crm8 for UK South).
