Keeping your ONIX metadata in ONIXEDIT Cloud to be able to manage it from anywhere is a good idea. But there comes a time when you need to export it to an ONIX file on your computer. Fortunately, ONIXEDIT Cloud makes this very easy to do.


Create an ONIX file with all of your titles:


If you want to have a backup copy of all your precious metadata or need to share your complete collection of titles to a partner, you can follow these steps:


1- From the Main List, click on the Red X at the right of the Index tool if you see it to be sure there are no active search in your current catalogue:




2- From the Actions menu, select the "Export selected titles to ONIX..." corresponding to the export ONIX format that you need. Depending on the cases, you may see:


    • Export selected titles to ONIX 2.1 REF: You'll get an ONIX 2.1 file with long reference tags;
    • Export selected titles to OXNI 2.1 SHORT: You'll get an ONIX 2.1 file with short tags;
    • Export selected titles to ONIX 3.0 REF: You'll get an ONIX 3.0 file with long reference tags;
    • Export selected titles to OXNI 3.0 SHORT: You'll get an ONIX 3.0 file with short tags;



3- You will see the following message box. Press Yes:



The resulting ONIX file will be produced by an automated task on our server. You'll see a red notification badge at the upper right corner of your ONIXEDIT Cloud window:


This indicates that we received your request and we are processing it. If you click on that icon, you'll see all the current pending tasks:


Once done, you'll see another notification badge indicate that one or more tasks are completed and ready to download:


Just open the notification window and click on the link of the file you want to download: 



You can then grab that file and send it by email or FTP to a trading partners or even,check its content using a text editor or another ONIX software such as ONIXEDIT Pro. You can even share it with another ONIXEDIT Cloud user. Using the "Import an ONIX file" action that ONIXEDIT Cloud user will be able to import a copy of your metadata in his/her own ONIXEDIT Cloud account.



Create an ONIX file containing titles found following a search:


This is exactly the same procedure to follow as the previous one, except that you will start with a search. Thus, if you need to export a subset of your titles, just follow these steps:


1- From the Main List, make a Search that will show the titles you want to export.


2- From the Actions menu, select the "Export selected titles to ONIX..." corresponding to the export ONIX format that you need.


3- You will see the following message box. Click on Yes:



Your export request will be transmitted to our server and you should expect for your Notification button to show the completion icon:


Just open the notification window and click on the link of the file you want to download: 



You can then use that ONIX file separately from ONIXEDIT Cloud.



Create an ONIX file containing selected titles:


If you need to create an ONIX file having only titles that you can't get from a single search, follow these steps:


1- Make a selection of titles as explained in section Selecting titles.


2- From the Actions menu, select the "Export selected titles to ONIX..." corresponding to the export ONIX format that you need.


3- You will see the following message box. Click on Yes:



Your export request will be transmitted to our server and you should expect for your notification button to show the completion icon:


Just open the notification window and click on the link of the file you want to download: 



You can then use that ONIX file as you want.
