Appendix A: ZIP Project Structure

ZIP projects described in this section can be imported into OpenL Studio. The following topics are included:

Single Project Structure

A single project must be archived into ZIP file and have the following structure:

my-project.zip:
    rules.xml          			    OpenL Tablets project descriptor
    rules-deploy.xml		       OpenL Tablets project deployment configuration
    *.xlsx				                 Excel files with rules

OpenL Tablets project descriptor and project deployment configuration are optional. When rules.xml is omitted, OpenL Studio creates it during import without moving any files in the archive. The generated descriptor declares *.xlsx as the module pattern for workbooks in the project root. Root-level workbooks in older Excel formats are declared as individual modules so they remain available.

Single Project Structure #2

For a special case when an archive contains a single folder in the root, use the following structure:

my-project.zip:
    my-			project              Folder with OpenL Tablets project inside
        rules.xml
        rules-deploy.xml
        *.xlsx

This type of archive is supported by OpenL Studio only.
