Accessing Quick Export
can be accessed from the main LANSA toolbar or from any repository object context menu, provided that it is available for export. The dialog is modeless, allowing the LANSA Editor to be accessed to add further objects to the export. When the dialog is closed, all items in the export are removed.

There are three ways to add objects to a Quick Export:
- Execute from a context menu. The currently selected items will be automatically added to the export.
- Drag and drop from any of the repository browsers.

This is a modal process and will lock the LANSA Editor while the export is running. When complete, the export log will be shown.
