Once tags have been imported into Validate, you can export them. As Validate allows tags to be uploaded from various sources, when a tag is exported, Validate will consolidate all tag attributes into a single record. This is perfect for having a master record for a tag and importing into other software. To begin exporting, click the “Export valid tags” menu option at the top of the page.

This opens the “Export valid tags” sheet with two dropdowns. 

The first contains all tag types to export, you must choose one or more tag types.

Once you’ve decided which tag types to export, then the second dropdown will be populated with all attributes you can export - these attributes are all those that have been defined for the selected tag types. In both dropdowns, the 'Select all' option may be used. 

In addition, a name may be given to the upload to help identify the exported document at a later date. When ready, click “Save”. This will perform the export task in the background. We’ll notify you when its finished and direct you to the “File exports” feature to download the document.

If you are likely to be exporting tags with the same tag type and attribute selections, then you can save an “Export configuration”. Simply provide an “Export configuration name” and choose the “Save configuration and export” save option.

If you then wish to use a previously defined export configuration, click the “Saved export configuration” tab at the top of the form. This switches to a different view which gets all configurations saved for the project. 

You can now select a configuration and see what tag types and attributes have been defined for it.
