There may be situations where you want to duplicate an existing test in another Division or Client. The Export/Import feature enables you to do this quickly and easily. Test settings are exported to a JSON file, which you can then import in another Division or Client to create a duplicate version of the same test.*

*Not all settings can be exported to the JSON file. Settings which have dependencies on other configurations within a division, and sensitive information such as credentials are not exported, and must be re-configured manually after import if needed. The items which are not included in the export are:

  • Credentials
  • Files
  • Alerts
  • Labels
  • Indexes
  • Insight Tracepoints/Insight Indicators

Exporting Test Settings

Follow these steps to export an existing test's configuration settings to a JSON file, which you can later import to create a duplicate test.

  1. Log in to the Catchpoint Portal and navigate to Control Center > Tests.
  2. Locate the desired test using the search field or by navigating into its parent Product or Folder.
  3. Click on the test to open its properties blade, then click Export. (Alternatively, you can click the 3 dot menu next to the desired test and select Export.
  4. Note the items which cannot be exported and click Export.

A file with a name like settings-123456.json will be downloaded to your configured downloads folder.

Importing Test Settings

Follow these steps to create a test by importing settings from a test in another division/client.

  1. Log in to the Catchpoint Portal and select the desired division then navigate to Control Center > Tests.
  2. Navigate to the Product and Folder where you want the new test to be located, then click New.
  3. Scroll down to the Import Test Settings section at the bottom of the test creation blade and click Import.
  4. Note the items which will not be included in the import, and click Upload File.
  5. Locate and select the json file containing the exported test settings, then click Open.
  6. Click Import. The test creation blade should now be updated with the test type and settings from the json file. Note that the name of the test will include the word "Import" at the end.
  7. Change any settings as desired and/or complete any configuration settings that were not imported, then click Save.
