Exporting Steps from a VoiceForm

The Export Selected Steps function in the user interface enables you to export selected steps from a VoiceForms for import to another system. The export process downloads a .json file of the selected steps.

  1. Log on to the VoiceCheck user interface.
  2. On the VoiceForm Editor tab, select VoiceForms from the menu in the navigation pane.
  3. Select the steps for export. Select multiple steps using the shift key.
  4. Under VoiceForm Step Actions click Export selected step(s).This link is disabled until at least one step has been selected.
  5. A .json file is saved.

The step includes:

  • step ID
  • description
  • prompt
  • help message (optional)
  • prompt type
  • prompt template (optional)
  • conditions (optional)
  • images attached (optional)
  • dependent steps (optional)
  • references to translations (optional).

The export works as follows:

  • If a step has a dependent step, then details of the dependent step are also included in the json file. However, if a dependent step is exported explicitly then, parent is will not be included in the json file.
  • If a step has conditions associated to it, then all the conditions are included in the json file.
  • If a step has attached images, then the json file includes a reference to the path image. However, the image file is not downloaded with the json file.
  • If a step has list items, prompt templates, or references to translations then all such details are included in the json file.

There is no reference to the VoiceForm in the exported json. This allows the export of steps from one VoiceForm to another.
