Upload/Download Configuration

While you can configure the columns manually, if you want to replicate an existing configuration in a similar table, the Upload and Download Configuration options let you complete the process in just a few seconds.
This is accomplished by downloading the existing configurations to a text file using 'Download Configurations' and then reusing it later for a similar table using 'Upload Configurations'.
To download the existing configuration to a text file, click on Download Configurations.
In the confirmation pop-up, click Download to download the file to your local system.
Click Save to save the config file. This will export the column properties in .txt format.
To restore a visual to its original column setup or replicate a column configuration from another table, use the Upload Configurations option and import the saved configuration file. This includes any added columns as well as the general and display settings. Here’s how to do it:
After loading your table into PowerTable, click Upload Configurations to import the previously downloaded text file.
Select Click to Upload. In the file explorer, select the text file you downloaded earlier.
Click Upload.
If conflicting properties exist, a pop-up will appear asking for confirmation to overwrite the existing column configuration. You'll also be prompted about additional columns, such as formulas or multi-select columns (if present), to confirm if you want to add them. You can check the required columns to select them and apply the configurations.
Click Import to proceed.
The columns will be configured and saved automatically with the imported configurations.
