Sharing Variables from One Project to Another
Brim allows you to easily maintain consistency across multi-site abstraction projects by exporting variables and dependent variables from one project and importing them into another.
To do this:
Download Variable Definitions from the Source Project
- Open your Source project in Brim.
- Click "Project Setup" and scroll down to the Variables section.
- Select "Export Variables". This will download a CSV file to your computer containing the variable definitions.
- Click "Dependent Variables"
- Select "Export Dependent Variables". This will download a CSV file to your computer containing the dependent variable definitions.
- The two files that you download need to be accessible by the Destination project.
Upload Variable Definitions to a Destination Project
- Open your Destination project in Brim.
- Click "Project Setup" and scroll down to the Variables section.
- Select "Upload Variables".
- Choose the File for Variables under the variables section, and the file for Dependent Variables under the dependent variables section.
- Click "Upload".
You can upload variables to as many projects as you want. Note that once they are uploaded to a destination project, they can be changed by admins of that project.
It looks like this:
