Export Resource Fields
Resource List Export:
To export all resources/ resource fields displayed in a Resource List, select "Export to CSV" from the top header for the desired resource list.
Multiple Resources Export:
To export multiple resources, select the desired resources from the resource list, then open the action menu and click "Export to CSV".
Single Resource Export:
Resource Entry pages have an "Export As CSV" button that generates a .csv file containing the resource's basic field information.
...
The downloaded .csv file will contain the fields containing values from the Resource Info, Contact Info, Tech Info, and Resource Field Gadget(s), with the field name in the first column, and the field values in the second column.
Add Child Entries
Adding a child entry creates a resource underneath the current resource in the hierarchy.
...
Once created, the child entry will show in a list at the bottom of the parent entry page.
Resource Clone
Cloning an entry duplicates the entry and, if desired, any child entries existing under it.
...
Information not Cloned: IP blocks, DNS zones, uploaded documents - in general, items that are assigned to the entry rather than input into fields.
To Clone an Entry
The resource clone feature may be accessed from either the Resources Tab, or from a resource entry page.
