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

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).
