1. Exporting JSON Data

Click the Download JSON button in the left sidebar to export the data for the currently visible Security Zone in JSON format.

Sample JSON output:

{
  "id": "zone-1",
  "name": "Zone 1",
  "nodes": [
    {
      "id": "1",
      "type": "custom",
      "position": { "x": 100, "y": 200 },
      "data": {
        "component_name": "Server",
        "type": "Server",
        "security_zone": "zone-1",
        "system_category": "Other",
        "other_system_connection": ["2"]
      }
    }
  ],
  "viewport": {
    "x": 0,
    "y": 0,
    "zoom": 1
  }
}

If you are in All Zone view, you can download the data for all Security Zones at once.

Sample JSON output:

[
  {
    "id": "zone-1",
    "name": "Zone 1",
    "nodes": [ ... ]
  },
  {
    "id": "zone-2",
    "name": "NEW ZONE",
    "nodes": [ ... ]
  }
]

3. Uploading Excel Data

Click the Upload Excel button to re-upload a previously downloaded Excel file and restore the topology as it was.

Note:

• The CBS node names must not be duplicated within the same Security Zone.
• If duplicates exist, the topology may not be restored correctly.
