Export Generic Custom Render Handler Step 1 of 2

CommonSpot exports generic render handlers as zip files. While including a readme file is optional, you should always add one that describes the render handler.

When you are exporting one of these objects, you are actually exporting a collection of CommonSpot files. You must export all of the files in a generic render handler.

Complete the following fields:

Name - Required. This field is pre-populated with a default name for the export packet (.zip file). You can change this default name, but it cannot contain spaces.
Items to Export - Use the links at the top of the Items to Export section to show or hide objects. Optional items do not have to be included for the object to function properly, when imported.

Readme File Name - You can optionally include a readme file in the export archive. You must build the readme file separately. To include it, enter the full path to the readme file or click the Browse button to locate it. The readme filename cannot contain spaces and must have a .txt extension.
This Generic Custom Render Handler requires the ADF - CommonSpot automatically detects whether an /ADF mapping exist in the current environment and checks this field by default. Uncheck if the render handler has no ADF dependencies.

After completing this dialog, click Export to continue to the second step of the Export process.
