Context menus in the Depot tab

+ More

If you right-click on a tab, on a tab (e.g. Software), or on a software package, you can perform various other actions.

Copy Preconditions / Paste Preconditions

If preconditions are defined in the package conditions, they can be copied to other packages. The two options "Copy preconditions" and "Paste preconditions" are then available in the context menu of the respective package.

Import/Export

You can either export from or import all software packages to the Registers tab, export all packages in the selected tab or import all packages to this Tab name tab or import an individual package into the selected tab or export a package from this tab.

The import and export of software classes is now possible. You can decide whether you import only the class description, or the class description including all dependent packages.


You can only import packages that have been exported before or have been generated with the Empirum Prepackaged Wizard. The package properties also specify the tab to which the packages are imported. If the wizard is used to create the tab, no tab properties are available - you must add them accordingly.
Each package is assigned a unique ID when it is exported for identification purposes.

Exported packages are not compatible with older versions of Empirum (less than v25.4 HF as of January 2026). Import via the Empirum Management Console (EMC) is not supported. If you want to import into an older version, you must do so using the Empirum SDK.
