Exporting Terminology in TBX Format

The TBX format is a standard used to exchange information between TermBases to an external system or database. Attachments cannot be exported from a TermBase in an TBX file.

Procedure

  1. Select Export from the menu bar, then New Export. In the Type field, select TBX.
  2. Enter a Description to identify the export for download once it is complete.
  3. Enter a Title and a Name. These are included within the TBX export.
  4. Select the TermBase along with the languages and fields you wish to export, then click Save.
    A list of all exports displays. If your export is large, it may take some time to complete, during which time you can continue to work with the TermBase Web.
  5. Click Refresh to refresh the export status or return to the export by selecting Export from the menu bar.
  6. Once the Status of the export is Completed, select the export and click Download.
    A zipped file containing both a *.xcs and *.tbx file is downloaded to your workstation. Both of these files are required for any future import from TBX.
