Hi,

I want to export the tree structure from one gateway and import it to another gateway.  
Is it possible to export in ignition vision, anyone has any idea on this?  
Thanks in advance.

You want to export the configuration of the Vision's Tree View component from one gateway to another, right?  
If you have access to them at the same time, you can just open one designer session for each gateway and copy and paste the component.  
Or you can just export the window or create a new one with just the component inside and name something different so when you import on the other gateway you don't get any conflicts.  
Or if they're actually on the same gateway, you can save the Item's dataset using a tag binding to a new dataset tag.  
Or you can just Open the Items dataset, click on copy to clipboard then paste it into the same property on the other gateway.

Manual page for exporting and importing a window. This applies across projects and gateways.

> Windows are the key to your HMI/SCADA application. A window is the basic building block of any Vision project, where each window can contain any number of components that can display Tag values, run scripts, write values to the database, and accept...

No, Actually I want to export the specific App (it will include that specific app\>family\>diagram)  
e.g in below screeshot if I click on APP\>Manual\_Test\_1 then it will export only specific app and its family.  
or I f I click on Symbolic AI it will export all the APP and its families.

I need to export these configurations runtime.

Symbolic AI is third party module I am using for creating the diagrams and in vision window I am creating app\>\>family structure and assigning those diagrams to family.

You are showing a screenshot of a Vision project's window with a TreeView component. The **content** of the component is entirely determined by the programmer who created this Vision project. To import/export **content** , you need to write your own code. Or get the original programmer to add this feature. This is not a generic Ignition function.
