Import and Export Calculators

Cost Calculator enables to export and import of calculators in .txt format.

Note that, if you have images in your calculator elements (image dropdown, image radio, image checkbox, etc.), these images will not be exported with the .txt file. After the import, you have to upload them into the website/calculator manually.

But, if you import & export the calculators on the same website, calculators will be imported with images. It is because images in the calculator are saved in the database of your website. The exported calculator can only save the path to these images. That's why it works only on the same website

Export

To export calculator(s) first select them using the checkboxes on the left then click on the Export button:

  • Selected - exports the selected calculators as a .txt file

  • All - exports all the calculators on your website as a .txt file
