Exporting or importing policies

Last published : Jun 07, 2026
The Arctera Classification is available for use with multiple Arctera products. If you have several of these products and want to distribute the same policies across them all, you can export the policies from one instance of the Arctera Classification and then import them into the others. The format in which the Arctera Classification exports the policies is JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), an industry-standard format for exchanging data in a readable form.
You cannot export or import the built-in policies, but you can export or import any custom policies that you have created.
Note: Export and import functionalities are not supported for the Exact Data Match based policies and Sender and Recipient department based policy condition.
To export a policy
  1. At the left of the Arctera Classification, click Policies.
  2. Select one or more policies that you want to export and then click Export.
Any custom patterns and tags that you have associated with the policies will automatically be exported as well.
  1. Save the exported JSON file.
To import a policy
