The assistant serves to adjust the EB data stock of a customer's different sites. The basic idea in this context is that customers can have EB databases at more than one site which are not connected to, and therefore different from, each other.

During the Export , objects of the database are offered for selection in the export dialog. The following objects can be exported from EB and imported into a target database:
· Projects (including specifications and typical projects)
· Device Master Data
· Dictionaries
· Type definitions
· Project templates
· Assistants
· Stencils
· Attributes
· Templates (configuration files)
Worksheet templates and the configuration of the tool palette, for instance, are not offered for selection.
During the export, you can already define how the exported objects are to be handled during the import (copy or overwrite) and whether this definition may still be changed on importing the data.
On importing the data, it is displayed for every object which import mode (copy or overwrite) was preset during the export. You can still change the presettings if this was permitted during the export.
Moreover, on importing the data, you can select from the objects overview which objects you want to import and which objects you do not want to import. To not import an object, uncheck the check box to the left of the object.
