Export Connections

To export connections, click on the Export icon

App should show dialog with Connections exported in csv format. Copy the contents and do what you need to do next.

warning

Connections are exported with password/tokens in plaintext for easy sharing and backup. So please be careful about it and safeguard it as appropriate to your company policy.

Import Connections

To import, click on the Import icon.

tip

Brobench Login Connection UI is designed to have short connection names so we can show many connections in a single line or page. If you are importing with long names, it may show the jumbled chars. If so, rename the connection name either before importing or after importing.

App should show below dialog. Select the format (CSV or ORGanizer) and enter the content in that format. Then click Import.

If successful, the app would show how many connections are imported. If connection name matches with any existing Connections, then Copy is suffixed to make them unique. If there are any errors due to validation or missing data, the app would show an error message.

Import ORGanizer Connections

ORGanizer is a Chrome extension that some may have used to log in to Salesforce. To export connections from there, follow these steps.

• Login to Salesforce UI. ORGanizer extension is shown as icon at the bottom left of the screen (or other location as per its configuration)

• Click on ORGanizer icon

  

• Click on Options

  

• Click on Import/Export and click on Export Data (JSON)

• Now paste that json content into Brobench Import dialog and select format as ORGanizer Export and click Import
